Show us some full pictures and maybe we can help you with those stains.
Good morning,
I cannot upload any photos - it will not let me, says I am over my quota. It is a pretty diffuse discoloration on the liner throughout the pool.
I PASSED MY OVERNIGHT TEST!! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and as I test with sun up the FC is holding so I am excited about that.
Here are my results.
Test @9:20PM
FC = 5,5
CC = < 0.5 - Very light pink
Test @5:0AM
FC = 5.0
CC = < 0.5 - Very light pink
Test @7AM
FC = 4.5
CC = < 0.5 - Very light pink
ALK = 100
CYA = 30
pH = 6.8
CH = 125
Iron = < .15
I am refilling pool with house water instead of well water going through a metal trap filter due to all the backwashing and vacuuming. My CYA has dropped 10 ppm and I added 4 bottles of HTH metal stain defense to start treating metals.
I added Soda ash to raise pH according to pool calculator. Unfortunately as I read more of the pool school I see that was mistake becasue it made my alkalinity go up. Ugh the learning process is a rough one. I read more on Alkalinity - I have spa jets on facing up to aerate, but they are always that way so I am not sure that will help.
Test @9:25AM
FC = 4.5
CC = 0 - Clear
pH = 7.5
ALK = 130
Metal Sequestrant = 8
Next step advice? Does it include vodka?
