i just opened the pool saturday (6 days ago). it was the color of strong tea, dark brown. i checked all of my chemicals last night and i finally am keeping a FC reading, not much, but some.
the water has improved daily to now a light green and i can see the third step into the pool. the FC reading was .5, pH was 7.0, CYA 30, CH 250, Alkalinity was at 80. i put 3 boxes (a little over 200 oz.) of Mule team Borox in, and i put another 4 1/2 gallons of bleach. i also started aerating the water.
how do you get the signature on here so i can post my info? i have a 24,000 gallon in-ground with a vinyl liner. i use the cartridge filters
