I'm just learning about pools (I should say learning to do things on my own). I wish I had found this site a week ago...
Anyway, I replaced my pump, filter, and added a SWG. (23,000 gal, vinyl, Pentair VS-3050, Pentair 420 cartridge filter, Easytouch 4 w/ IC40)
I added 480lbs (40lbs x 12) of Water Softener salt from Home Depot (yellow bag). (I know better now) But it says "Up to 99.6% pure". It does not list anti-caking agents or other additives.
And now my deep end water looks green (reminds me of brackish water).
Is there anything I can do (besides drain and fill...)?
Water info from store (TF-100 was ordered today)
FC .4 (before shock)
TC .5
TA 0 (added 20lbs of baking soda)
PH 6.5
CH 95 (store recommended 30lbs of calcium hardness+)
CYA 90
SALT 3000ppm (will test/adjust again before SWG startup)
Copper 0
Iron 0
Basically, I'm trying to decide if I need to drain now before I balance everything out.
Thanks for any help.
