Hi all -
I received Ben's test kit October 2006, right before we closed our pool. Summer of 2007 we did not open pool due to several family crises. We opened our pool last Tuesday, and the filter has been running 24/7 for a week now. Water is still a milky light green (cannot see bottom of deep end). Have been brushing walls and vacuuming to waste every other day. I would appreciate some help in getting my pool clear. Here are my numbers as of this morning (Monday):
FC:16
CC:4
TC:20
CYA:0 (the black dot on the tube never disappeared. Not sure if I'm looking at the tube the right way)
PH: 7.8
ALK: 70
CAL: 100
Inground vinyl pool, 26,000 gallons, sand filter. We on Long Island, New York. All I've added since last Tuesday is about half a box of Borax and about 28 gallons of liquid bleach.
Thanks in advance for all your help. I've been reading Ben's forum and now this one, and want to try the BBB method this year for my pool. My husband is getting impatient and is ready to go to Leslie's to get their "shock."
