Here are my current numbers:
FC 1.5
CC .5
pH 7.5
TA 160
CH 440
CYA 20
I know I need to lower my TA, CH and up my CYA. CYA is coming up slowly as the number was lower a few days ago. I'll post a pic of my pool water in a bit. I bought 19 (96oz) bottles of bleach. Think that will be enough, or do I need to buy more on hand? Also bought another bag of DE as I'm nearly out of my other one from bumping and dumping. So I haven't had to fight algae before. When is the best time to start this? Morning? I know it says to run the pump/filter 24/7...but do I have to wake up at night to go out there and bump it??? I really don't want to do that as we live out in the country and the pool is away from the house...afraid of snakes or whatnot that roams out here. LOL
