Hi all-
I live in the northeast. Ive owned my pool for 2 years now and both years i have had no problem all summer keeping the water perfect. The problem i have is when i open my pool now 2 years in a row i have an ammonia problem that has required me to super chlorinate my pool to like 100ppm to break the ammonia. Its costly and super annoying. I have no idea why i keep having this problem every year. The only thing i can think is that we live around mushroom farms and maybe the release of the composting into the air gets into the rain water and thus my problem every spring. My question to you guys is do you think if i add a gallon or 2 of bleach to my pool every month during winter, would that help keep the ammonia away? Would it damage my plaster since the water wouldn't be circulating and i assume the bleach would just sink to the bottom. Not sure if it would even do any good ? Any tips or ideas would be appreciated !
