Last weekend my home received 4-5” of rain. I had to open my drain both days to keep water from overflowing.
Come Monday I noticed my SWG showed 1500 ppm. Rather than testing the water, I went straight for the salt and poured 40 lbs into my pool. By Wed my SWG read 1800 ppm and water had a very faint haze so I poured another 40 lbs in. This Fri morning my SWG read 2200 and water had same faint haze but now a barely noticeable green hue, so I took a water sample to Leslies for advice during my lunch break.
Leslies report showed my salt at 3900, which tells me I need to recal my SWG controller. My PH was way high and I had virtually no FC. Leslies recommended 4 lbs of shock and 9 qts of muriatic acid. My test results are below .
When I got home at 9pm my the haze appears to be nearly gone so Ive held off adding any shock to my water. Its hard to tell if the green hue is gone without sunlight. Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with shocking my pool or should I test FC on the morning then decide. (I did start adding muriatic acid for my PH).
