Hello all!
I battled a green pool for a few weeks as a new pool/home owner following pool store advice... Finally came on here a little over a week ago and seem to have everything taken care of on that end. Wondering if I could get some advice now regarding any maintenance or anything else I need to do to make sure my family is good to start swimming... Here are my current numbers, although I am still new to using the test kit and I question if there are any discrepancies:
FC: 20
CC: .5 (maybe even zero... I felt like the water had a slight pink tint so I added a drop to be safe but honestly it was minimal)
TA: 190
pH: 7.8
CYA: 60 (again... might even be a little lower? I feel like if I look very closely I could still see the black dot but it was hard to be sure so I stopped there)
Advice? Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm feeling like things are just about good... I read that I should lower the pH and continue to run the pump to get the TA down? Is that correct?
Thanks in advance!
