Our pool has been up for about 2 weeks now, and it seems like it is using a lot of chlorine. It is a 12x24 4ft deep. I guess about 6400 gals. It has been shocked when we first set it up, but seems the chlorine disappears rapidly.
We havn't had any algae blooms, but I am getting worried that it may.
I test with strips, so I can't tell exactly the stats but here they are after adding enough bleach for ppm of 7
FC: 5+
pH: ~7.8
TA: 220+
CYA: between 30-50
Also how long does it usually take for TA to lower using the muriatic acid technique? And does this affect the chlorine significantly?
I am going to test again first thing in the morning as i added bleach at night.
