I noticed the last few days the pool has not been sparkling and crisp like it usually is. The water has felt a little slick or greasy to me. I have been needing to add CYA for awhile but it has rained solid for the last 2.5wks. When I opened the pool it had 0 CYA. I had some issues with the sock busting and I pulled everything back out. Added more and probably didn't add enough to get me to 40CYA. It's been burning through the bleach because I never added enough CYA to the pool. I have never felt like I got a good test result with this test. With that said I have been dosing the pool to 6.0fc at night and I have let the pool drop below 2.0fc too many times. Between 3 kids swimming all day, brutal heat for 2 weeks, followed by 2wks of Solid rain their is definitely something in the pool. Hopefully I caught it early. Started slamming last night. When I did the CYA test it barely turned cloudy. So I really have no clue what it is. Do I slam then add CYA or add it while I slam and shoot for those new numbers? How much would you add?
