Ok here it is. Pool "looks" perfect. Cyrstal clear water and not a stain on any wall, "kudos to proteams metal magic"!
Now for the not so great stuff. I did a CYA test took my time and followed directions to a T, At a 40 reading I really cant see the dot unless I try and angle the tube, from 28-35 I cant see it no way no how.
I tested my PH and it read 6.8 so I'm going to throw in 209 oz of Borax "the 20 Mule Team" as per the pool calculator.
My FC seems weird, I tested it at 1. and 1.5 depending if I let all or most of all of the powder "mix". WHen I just put 1 drop of the 871 in, it stayed a little pink and took at least 1 extra drop of the 871. The CC took 15 drops (7.5) to get totally clear.
And finally my TA is a solid 110. Ive only added 18 oz of Pool life algaeaside other than the Bleach, Borox, and AA.
Again I have used Trichlor regularly during the day and just a few bags of Dichlor when first opened and I'm sure it was regular with chlorine. Other than the BOrax, any ideas on how the cc was 4 a week ago, seemed to spike last night and reads 7.5 presently.
After I add the Borax I was thinking of not using bleach for 1 more day just to see if the cc comes down. WHat do youthink? How could I get a 1 or 1.5 FC reading if its showing so much cc. I know theres alot of questions in there.
