Hello I am brand new here and this is my first post! Hi all.
I have a 22,000 gal inground pool from 1972 w original plaster ...not in the greatest shape but trying to do my best. I have had this property for 13 yrs and I know how to manage pool chemistry fairly well.
With that said, I have had nothing but problems this season with green algae. I can not keep a FC reading at all. If I shock, boom few days later no FC and green starts showing up in places. I made the mistake of floating wayyy too many pucks and using powder shock so I know I caused super high CYA. I have removed the floating pucks and I'm switching to liq chlorine.
I just backwashed my green green filter and started refilling. I just tested CYA and it is over 200. Does everyone here think I should drain this pool?? If I have to I'm ready to do so but wanted to ask your honest opinion.
Do you thinking the high CYA has locked my FC..I think this might bee my problem.
Thanks All!
Dottie
