Got a ton of rain last week that raised the level of my pool a few inches along with a bunch of leaves and dirt. So Saturday morning I vacuumed the bottom where there was some green algea in the cracks of the vinyl liner. Of course this made the water cloudy, but not really green. I tested it at that point (8am):
FC 3.0
CC 0
PH 7.6
TA 100
CYA 80
On the whole the levels were about in line with what they had been for the past month of sparkling clean water -- except the CYA which was 50 last time I checked, about 2 weeks ago.
I was going to be out all day, so I dumped about 20 oz of bleach in it before I left. Around 5pm I got home and still cloudy blue (no green but not clear). So I figured I should SLAM before it gets bad.
I added 128 oz bleach at 6pm. Waited an hour and tested at 7pm
FC 14.5
CC 1
Added 128 OZ again. tested at 8PM:
FC 24
CC 1
Added 60 oz
This morning at 6AM tested:
FC 25.5
CC 1
Added 65 oz of bleach.
Went to work. Still cloudy. Am I on right track? Just keep adding bleach until FC is 31 (according to the chart I read on site) and keep it there till pool is clear? I haven't tested PH again cause I read that it wouldn't be accurate during the SLAM process.
Just want some reassurance I'm doing this right. Thanks!
