After a week straight of rain and a weeked of travel, I was finally able to get in and backwash/rinse the filter and vaccuum/brush the pool. I noticed some algae gathering in spots and my chlorine last night was 0. I added 4 gallons of 8.25% bleach.
This morning
FC 1.5
PH 8.2+
Alk 70
24000 galloon above ground 33' round vinyl lined pool.
My pump/filter run constantly creating a whirlpool type motion in my pool so the water is constantly moving. I brushed the pool again this morning to get the remaining algae that was still trying to gather in piles into solution to kill it. I have the age old Chicken/Egg question. Which do I correct first, raising the alkalinity or lowering the PH? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
