Hi there-I've been lurking and reading everything here for days now. thought I had a rudimentary understanding of how this works, except that it's NOT, so please advise where I am going wrong!
12000 gal
IG pebble-tec
sand filter
Had a high CYA level, same old story, using 3" pucks for several years. Long story short, drained 2/3 of water and refilled.
CYA at 130 and still seems to be dropping from 200+ but still no TC or FC reading showing up.
Added 5 - 96 oz jugs of 6% bleach yesterday evening and I gal this am-still nothing.
Numbers are as follows: Temp 85*
Total Chlorine 0 Original TA 133
Free Chlorine 0 Adjusted TA 94
CYA 130 Total Hardness 376
Ph 7.6
Do I add another 5 gals this evening or can someone suggest a better course of action?
At temps of 114-116 here-grandkids are clamoring to get in the pool! LOL
Love this site and WILL get it yet!
