My pool is no longer neglected since spring is here.
So I started Sat 4/18 with a dark green almost black pool. PH was 8.2+ CL 0 TA 50. Since it was so dark I chose a target of 30 for CL 7.5 for PH and TA of 120. So I added the appropriate amount of Baking soda, Muratic acid and 12.5% CL. Within 30 min. It went to a light brown. I thought woohoo no problems this year. Within 2 hours it was no longer any color it was cloudy but clear if you know what I mean. The only thing I noticed was very very fine foam on top. So over night it ran filtering.... The foam in the morning was still there not as much, but still there. Check my levels all is good. Added some CL to make up my loss. I can now see the brush when it is at the bottom. Just curious though about this very very fine foam. Any idea's?
