So, I've had a rough time with my pool this year for some reason..... It was a very warm winter so the pool was extra swampy when I opened it up. But, I SLAMed it, got it sparkling, raised my CYA up to 70 and off we went. Then I went on vacation for a week and the pool was slightly green when I came back. So i SLAMed it again and everything was fine..... until Wednesday. I got home and it was very green and cloudy, and my low salt indicator was lit on my SWG. I added 2 bags of salt and ran a full set of tests:
FC - 0
CC - 0
PH - 6.8
CYA - <20.... Where'd all my CYA go?!?!?
I added enough CYA to get me up to 30 (I sat there and squished the sock till it was all dissolved) and started SLAMing..... again. I re-tested yesterday and CYA was at 40 (good enough for now).
FC - 0
CC - .5
PH - 6.8
CYA - 40
Added 3 jugs of bleach to get me up to a shock level of 16. Waited an hour and tested again....
FC - 2
CC - 1
Ok, maybe I have more growing than I thought.... Lets add 3 more jugs..... and hour later:
FC - 0
CC - 1
This is seriously starting to concern me. I checked the dates on the bleach and they are all day 160 of this year.
This morning I added 2 more jugs and went to the store to get more. Came back and:
FC - 0
CC - 1
What the heck?!?!? I've never had this much trouble getting chlorine into the pool.
Any help would be great!!
thanks,
