Hi Everyone,
I am having an issue with algae when I open my pool. For the last two years within an hour of pulling off the safety cover I get an outbreak. At first the water is a bit cloudy but I can see the bottom that has a thin layer of silt/dirt. I start the pump, get the water circulating, start vacuuming & brushing then boom........the water is cloudy/green & I can't see the bottom. From then on in I have to SLAM the pool for the next week to get the water sparkling. Is this normal?
These are the closing/opening test results:
Closing: October 15 (followed TFC closing pool instructions)
FC: 16 (shocked a few days before)
CC: 0
PH: 7.8
TA: 90
CH:250
CYA: 55
SALT: 4000
WATER TEMP: 60
Opening: April 30
FC: 4
CC: 0
PH: 7.3
TA: 65
CH: 250
CYA: 45
SALT: 45
WATER TEMP: 45
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
