:grrrr:
First, let me say that I read Pool School on a regular basis. I read and reread constantly. Here's what's going on:
Shocked for days to get rid of what I thought was algae. Kept my level a little higher than 15, which is what Pool Calc says is ideal for my set up. The overnight test held; however, the corners of my shallow end and the bottom of the deep end still seemed greenish but the water is super sparkly. I got in with the fins and tried to brush/scrub whatever it is. It's not moving. At all. Here are today's numbers:
FC 6.5
CC 0
ph 7.3
T/A 140 (up from 110 just a few days ago)
CH 300
CYA 35 (Little bit of a guess as I lost the dot approximately halfway between 30 and 40)
I know it's me. What am I doing wrong? Or any thoughts on what the green, nonmoving stuff might be? It doesn't seem slimy...
BTW, vacuuming every day. Loads of acorns and *&^%$# Japanese beetles... Thanks for any insite you can give-- I feel like people here have already been incredibly helpful!
