I am a new pool owner, so please forgive me if I ask a silly question! I'm trying to make the switch to the BBB method - I'm tired of walking into the pool store and spending more $$ than the pool cost! And I am still trying to "digest" the info in Pool School!
We went on vacation for 2 weeks and yes, the pump died while we were gone! The new one has been running for 5 days now. I have added nothing to the pool in over 2 weeks.
The water looks clear until my kids get in and swim, then it's cloudy. There appears to be sand on the bottom of the pool (mustard algae?), although that is better since the new pump is up and running (24/7). I keep the pool covered whenever we are not in it!
Here are the numbers from the pool store:
Alkalinity - 0
pH - UR (unreadable?)
Calcium - 0
TC - 0
FC - o
Stabilizer - 21
I know it's not much to go on, but it's all I got! Please tell me what to add and where to get it!
Thanks,
