Took cover off last Sunday to 1000+ (no joke) tadpoles and some pine straw & debris in the water. The water was a little murky but NOT green and you could see the bottom. 16 jugs of chloxorx, fishing out dead frogs, and most of the pine straw later the water looked like the first picture below. You could still see the bottom and thru this process my Pool Rover Jr died
This morning my water looked the same as the first picture. Testing showed this:
FC 0
pH 7.2
CYA 20 or lower (I've been adding stabilizer in the socks on the noodle for about 3 days)
TA 60
So .. I added chlorox to bring it to FC 10 (b/c of no CYA) and added some borax for the pH.
Within an hour or so of doing this the water tuned green (second picture). Current readings are:
FC 12
pH 7.2
TA 80
CYA - I didn't retest primarily b/c I'm running out of test chemicals for this reading and stabilizer is still it the socks dissolving.
ANY ideas what is going on and/or what I should do at this point?
THANKS in advance!!
