Hello,
I have been reading a lot of other post regarding the CYA conversion to ammonia. So far I have used a total of 10 gallons of bleach (77 ppm raise of FC) along with 2 lbs of shock (7.5ppm FC increase each) giving me a total of 92 ppm over all FC increase. I have been testing my water with the Taylor 2006-k test kit. I have 2 sets over numbers posted below:
5/31/16
FC: 0
CC: .6
PH: 7.0
TA: 130 ppm
CH: 200 ppm
CYA: < 30 ppm
After that reading I adjusted PH and CYA and added 2 more gallons of Chlorine bringing my FC level around 16ppm after a few hours.
Ran pump overnight however, I didn't pass the overnight test, this mornings numbers.
6/1/16
FC: 0
CC: <.2
PH: 7.0
TA: 130 ppm
CH: 200 ppm
CYA: < 30 ppm
I then just added another gallon (10 total now) to bring the FC up to 7.7 ppm. (ran out of product will be heading to store)
Am I on the right track here? The pool water looks crystal clear and you wouldn't be able to tell that the water was not balanced. Any help or guidance would be great thank you
Pool background: 13000 gallons approx. Michigan just opened last weekend.
