I opened up my pool a week ago to alot of algae and green scum.
After 8 large jugs of clorox, everything died, turned brown and I have been steadily clearing it out with DE changes, brushing and waiting.
I went to the local store today to enjoy their free testing.
Here are my results-
temp 70
TDS 150
CYA - 29
Tot chlorine - 1.3
free chlorine - 1.3
ph 7.2
total alkalinity- 104
adjusted total alk - 95
total hardness - 86
optimizer -2
copper 0
iron 0
green algae none
Because they think that I am still running a bioguard pool system, they wrote up a menu of chemicals for me to purchase, some stabilizer, some balance pack things that raise Ph and Alkalinity. I get that, I need to do it, but for my bbb system.
I am in the process of clearing it out, time and keeping the chlorine up will be my methods.
anything else I should be concerned about?
thanks
