Here is my pool story. Had a pool installed 3yrs ago. All was well until mid last year. I was mostly using the cheap little test strips that only test the 3 basics. Started to get some staining. Went to the local pool supply store, they gave me some stuff to clear up the stains, and also some some stuff to 'fix' my phosphate problem. After that my CYA went to about zero. I got that up, but the Cl is 0. Here are the numbers.
CL 0, PH 7.4, TA 130, CH 250, CYA 80, Salt 3400 ppm.
The PH is a bit low, could that be why I can't maintain the CL, or is something else wrong? I did clean the cell.
The water is a a little cloudy and there is dirt like accumulation at the bottom, I am guessing it is some sort of algae, but I do not have any green algae. The water temp is at 55 now, but it will be going up soon as we get into the 80's later this week.
I wish I found this site before I went to the local shop.
Thanks in advance,
