CYA 20 (Tested earlier this week, 2 times) I know I need to get this up a little, but I am home all day, so I'm gonna live with it for now. Besides, I tested wrong last Sun, (35), so I was shocking to 16 all week anyway!
A little history I think might help:
Late opening--end of may. Algae on opening. Don't have a winter cover. Never did have it completely clear when we started loosing water and found a leak at one of the returns.
Drained the water below skimmer and return, in order to repair leak. Then my mother passed away so we didn't work with the pool for several days. Algae again.
While it was below skimmer, my husband decided to hard plum and move the filter. Leak repaired. One week later we noticed what appeared to be sand when we brushed. The filter was hooked up wrong after the move. So last saturday, he fixed that. (I had been shocking during that week to 10, but raised it to 16 on sunday after I tested my cya wrong at 35, even reached 18 one night.)
Also on sunday we had a pump problem. He rewired it and it is working good now. This past week I shocked to 16, until I retested my cya on approx thurs, and it was 20. Dropped it to 10-11. Added flock.
Filter has been running 24/7 since last sunday night, except for approx 12 hrs on friday night when we had a bad storm. Yesterday when I turned it back on, I could barely see the bottom and then the stuff started to circulate. We vacuumed and got alot of sand/filmy stuff in the skimmer at the pump. Brusing everyday, and started using the skimmer sock yesterday.
We have backwashed about 3 times this week, probably need to more I am guessing.
I figure it's probably dead algae from both blooms, and whatever the filter had in it for that week it was hooked up wrong. But wanted tfp input!
Thanks!
