I haven't done a full test in quite awhile as I have been adding 42 0z of 12.5% chlorine every morning and approx 25 oz of muriatic acid every 4 days. This morning I saw some bloom on the surface of the pool cleaner,. I was going to to a complete test but it started raining. until now. Here are the results:
FC 4
CC.5
CH 400
TA 120
CYA 40
PH 8.5+
The water is clear but a vacuum is needed after the rain.
I'm wondering if I could get by with getting the PH adjusted and then shocking the pool. Pool math says to raise the FC level to 16 to shock or would a slam be better? The problem with slamming is that I don't have enough R0871 and R 0870 to slam. I will be ordering today but they won't get here until the middle of next week..
I'll back wash the filter and let the water run down to the skimmer and then refill it. Hopefully this will reduce the CH to a lower level..
