Hi all. I'm brand new to the forum, and also somewhat new to owning a pool. I'm in PA; pool details below. Been using a pool store in my area; anxious to get to BBB. Right now, I've been using A&S Super Pool Treat for shock, and tablets for maintenance. Ordered my test kit, but not here yet. My readings from the pool store:
FC = .1
CC = 1.4
TC = 1.5
pH = 7.6
Hardness = 210
Alk = 100
CYA = 125
So, I know my FC is low, and my CYA is high. Water is clear, but I get a little algae around the light. I've read through the info in Pool School, and the CYA/FC chart, but don't fully understand it yet. It says if my CYA is 125, then my target FC is 13.6, and my shock FC is 46.7. How do I convert that to necessary product (bleach) to add? Is the CYA so high, that I'll never get the FC up (and I have to empty some water)?
Thanks all,
Bill
