Okay, I vacuumed, cleaned the filter cartridge(which I had not done since the yellow started) and added enough bleach to bring it up to 25ppm. I know, I know, but I figured I'd cover all bases. Another reason was the pool was starting to look cloudy today....sort of a yellowish cast all through the water. Where did my beautiful, crystal clear water go??
So, the filter, ewwwww, it was FULL of yellow stuff!! I guess all the junk I had been vacuuming up in the last couple weeks. Was it just re-circulating around in my pool or was it accumulating in the filter and new was growing/falling into the pool??
If there is more yellow stuff tomorrow I am going to vacuum again and clean the filter again too.
I will check my CL first thing in the morning before too much loss by sunlight to see where I am at.
Oh, and here's my numbers before the chlorine addition....
CL 3ppm
CC 0
TA 130
CYA around 25
ph I think is was 7.5 (did that one this morning)
How long do I need to keep it up to 25ppm?? One time and it's good? What do I do now?
