Hi all!
Newly built, little pool...only the 3 of us... figured I could get by on my own with the strips.
Similar to many, I kinda tried the tabs/dispenser thing since we had so many...builder didn't explain options... was doing fine, then bam!
Light green, and I had yellowish dust.
Halp!
Sorta freaked and poured tons of bleach in, having done two tiny drains/fills waiting on my Taylor kit...
talked hubby into draining a bit- but left pump on- woke up at around 3 something and turned it off. Was maybe a 25% drain.
Paranoid about the pump, I have filled it back up... tiny pool, so I think I'd rather swing the bleach needed... Texas frowns on water use.
We have pretty hard water, and as I said, I just kinda poured bleach every once in a while...but I think my pool #'s right now are around:
FC.......30 (added another gallon of 8.25 % after seeing the numbers)
CC.......1.5 CH......175
pH.......8
TA.......170 (from the CYA?)
CYA.....95 (average of 3)- still way high, but water is getting a lot better...? had probably been like 150...
I am a convert- the pucks almost got me.
Already used one of the CYA testing bottles, though...
!
What should I do?
thanks!!
