Okay, I got numbers from the pool store this morning:
Free Chlorine: 6.6
Total Chlorine: 7.3
pH 7.4
hardness: 160
Alk: 180
acid: 10
copper: .23
iron: 0
I tested with my DPD kit this morning and I got a reading of 16, which is what the reading was at midnight last night - I have no idea how our number could be so far apart. ??
I have been keeping the chlorine level high for a week now with no improvement and would appreciate any help to get this water clear. I thought maybe my CYA level was high and I wasn't putting in enough chlorine, but the pool store test says CYA is only 10, so there should be plenty of chlorine in there according to the chart. ???help....?
pH is a little high because I have been aerating for a day to lower the alkalinity.
