I've been away for 2 weeks and ensured my pool balance was correct before I left. Pool clarity was excellent!
However I have come back to a very green pool. I did a quick test FC test last night and it was over 10. I was expecting it to be like 1 or zero... in any case i threw in 2 litres of bleach, upped the swg to 100% and let run over night.
This morning I did a thorough test.
FC 12
CC about 1
pH 7.7
TA 70
CYA 65
Threw in remainder of bleach about another 1 lt, and 2kg Bicarb and turned acid feeder to max.
I always shoot for FC of 6, but have noticed this year due to a lot of pollen i have had to run FC quite higher to keep things clear. Occasionally I have had a pool store test which shows i have very high Phosphates and have found that using a phos clear and clarify does indeed clear things up but not the route cause.
My goal today after work is to lower ph and start a slam. Any other recommendations?
