New home owner with a pool...What was I thinking!!!! Started taking pool samples to a local pool supply. Time and again I would say these little spots were appearing. Long story short I turned here and purchased a kit and am now in the process of getting things running for the year.
I'm a bit lost. Pool is plaster Non-SWG approx. 13,000 gal. To get ahead of the algae I read through all the directions.
When I started out yesterday:
Water temp is 68
FC 1
CC .5
PH 7.4
TA 70
CYA 65
I got the FC up 26.5 and kept checking the levels every 30 minutes yesterday afternoon and evening.
Today
FC 24.5
CC .5
PH 8.0
Brushed sides again and cleaned filter again.
FC 23.5
CC .5
PH 8.0
TA 125
CH160 (?)
CYA 65
There still appears to be algae. Should I add more bleach and keep the FC levels up? Should I pull the PH levels down before adding more bleach at this point?
Honestly, I'm so frustrated but determined to do this. You all seem so helpful.
