Hi All!
I have seen TREMENDOUS improvement in my pool since this time last week thanks to this awesome forum!!
I have a couple of questions, though:
There seems to be a lingering slight cloudiness that hasn't changed much in the last couple of days. I was in the pool today vacuuming with goggles on, and I could see tons of small white particles floating in the water - what is this? Is it just part of the process (pool was pretty much a swamp when we started)?
Also, I am STILL cleaning the filter (cartridge) every 3 hours or so, the pressure goes way up - and it's dirty when I clean it. When I was at the pool store today, I mentioned it to the clerk and she looked at me like I had horns coming out of my head. We just bought a new filter about 6 weeks ago. Should I still be needing to clean it that much or is there some other problem.
Here's my latest numbers:
FC - 8.1
TC - 8.3
CC - .2
pH - 8.0
CH - 180
TA - 157
CYA - 10
Copper - .37
Iron - .37
I have some CYA in a sock, haven't seen a change in that # yet in a week, and I added 1 gallon of MA today for the pH/Alkalinity.
Thanks in Advance!
