Hello,
Just started the BBB process after still not being able to open my pool and spending hundreds of dollars at the pool store this year.
I've read through Pool School and have ordered and am now using the TF-100 test kit.
After first test, used the pool calculator and added as it suggested.
pH, TA look good this morning. FC is still very low even after adding 7 gallons of 6 percent bleach. Should I keep adding a similar amount of bleach as the calculator suggests? I was trying to shock the pool and get the FC to 10 and am surprised all that bleach had such a minor effect.
Here are the numbers:
Yesterday
FC-0
CC-.5
TC-.5
pH-6.8
TA-80
CYA-<20
Temp-86
This morning
FC-.5
CC-1
TC-1.5
pH-7.3
TA-90
CH-60
CYA-<20
Temp-84
I know I need to add stabilizer (pool calc. says 132 oz.) Is that my problem?
Thanks so much for your time and advice!
Greg
