Alright, I've read everything and to be honest my head is spinning a little from all the information. Excited to see your methods and the simplicity of the program in action in my backyard.
My 13K IG pool has been up and running now for 3 years and started to run into troubles early this swim season. The algae was appearing and chlorine was difficult to maintain. So, this week I drained half the water out and then thankfully found this forum. Perfect timing.
Yesterday, here were my readings:
FC - 0.4
CC - 1.8
PH - 7.6
TA - 110
CH - 330
CYA - 60
I added 1 jug of bleach to get the FC up and see if the water would hold up. And, here are the readings from this morning:
FC - 0.6
CC - 2
PH - 7.6
TA - 110
CH - 330
CYA - 45
So, I'm thinking I need to shock the pool taking it up to 16-18ppm. I am reading the charts correctly?
Thanks for you help!
