Hello everyone,
Opened the pool this year and it came with a nice green mess in it. Wondering where I should go from here? I've run my numbers 2 days in a row (it was opened on Thursday, took numbers on Friday and Saturday). I just vacuumed it today. I also added 1 gallon of liquid chlorine (pool sanitizer - 10% sodium hypochlorite last night). The pool still looks just as green as when it was opened. Any suggestions for what I need to do to get this pool back in good shape? I'm keeping up with the filter, needing to backwash about every 12 hours. Also to note there are 2 skimmers and the main drain in the deep end does not work, so it takes a bit longer for my pool to turnover. I have the TF-100 test kit
Here are my numbers from the past 2 days:
5/20
FC - 6ppm
CC - 0ppm
TC - 6ppm
TA - 100 - 110 ppm
CYA - 25 or 30
PH 7.3
Chlorine from blue box quick test - 1ppm
5/21/16 after 1 gallon of liquid chlorine added and pool vacuumed
FC - 14ppm
CC - 0ppm
TC - 14ppm
TA - 120ppm
Calcium Hardness - 100-125ppm
PH 7.2 - 7.3
Chlorine from blue box quick test - 1 - 2ppm
Here are a few pictures of it as well.
