Hi, gang.
Fairly new here. Just got the kit based on your recommendations but had started BBB method prior to that and had the water really clear but still with a green tint.
Had vacuumed but no better even after sand filter backwash. So I brushed yesterday and it went south with green cloudiness even though I still had good FC levels.
Tonight's levels are:
FC 6
cc 0.5
TC 6.5
pH 7.5
TA 150
CH 350
CYA 90
T 76
I went ahead and added a bottle of bleach to increase FC. Besides continuing to vacuum and backwash any one have suggestions on my problem based on the numbers?
I assume I had an algae kill and the green tint is dead algae on the sides and bottom of the pool and by brushing I stirred it up. I keep the pump return mainly skimmer and partially main drain.
Does flocculent help?
Thank you--great site.
