Hello! First time poster (aside from introducing myself). Things had been going great with my pool since I put it up in June. I left for a week in late July and came back to a very green pool. I shocked it (reading some posts here I obviously should have SLAMmed it), and the green disappeared, but the pool stayed very cloudy. Tried a coagulant from the pool supplies store. That did not help. The pool is getting quite green again, so I am considering a SLAM now.
A concern I have is that my CYA is higher than my test strips were leading me to believe. On the Taylor kit it it measured greater than 100 (Middle of letter CYA on the Taylor kit . Some posts I have read talk about draining some water. Water is fairly cheap here, so not a huge concern if I need to do that. Also, I will likely be closing this pool within a month.
I am looking for any advice on what to do next. I have gone from completely overwhelmed with the information to simply confused about my next steps .
Thanks in advance!
Here are my test results:
PH: 7.7
CYA: Unknown, but >100
CC: .6
FC: 5.4
TA: 100
CH: 130
