I'm about to give up on this pool. We opened late and it was green. Pool store said we have phosphates. Gave me something for it and also shocked it. That was two weeks ago and I still can't get a fc reading. I have dumped gallons and gallons of bleach + I am still using smart sticks by BioGuard. This is the reading I got today July 23 2009 from the pool store.
saturation idx: .01
TDS: 1100
CYA: 68
Tot. Chlorine: .04
FC: 0
PH: 7.6
Tot Alkalinity: 140
Adj. Tot Alk: 120
Tot. Hardness: 198
Optimizer +: 13
I have had the pool since 1995 and never had this kind of problem and I never used optimizer. Help!!! My husband wants to rip the pool down. How much of the bleach should I use. How to use it and when. I've tried the bucket test. 2 gal. of pool water + 2 t of bleach. Waited 30 min. and got a very good reading. Is this a good sign.
Thanks,
Rose
