My test results are:
FC - 8.5
Ph- 7.5
TA - 120
CYA - 27
CH - 260
I posted a couple of days ago saying that I was in the process of trying to clear up my water. Up until today, I was using a simple OTO test for Chlorine. Because of that, I was just guessing as to whether or not I was reaching my shock level with my bags of Turbo Shock. Anyway, this morning my water looked great...sparkling blue. I checked my FC level and it was 8.5. I was really pumped about the pool, and then I noticed something that caught my attention. The previous owner of my fiberglass pool did something that caused blisters on several locations. This afternoon I noticed little spots on the blisters. They went away easily when brushed. They weren't really bright yellow. I fought mustard algae for a while when I purchased the house last year but got rid of it...I think. Any idea as to what these spots might be?? Should I get my pool up to mustard shock level for a day or so to be on the safe side?? Any advice would be appreciated.
PS. Not yet coverted completely to Trouble Free. Plan to convert completely when my tablets raise my CYA to about 50.
Thanks,
Alan
