I have a 25,000 gallon pool and it is my first time maintaining a pool.
A few questions,
I have a Leslie's dpd test kit, and when im trying to test for Total Alkalinity, it says it should turn red when testing the alkalinity. But can never get it to turn red, it just turns pink..than darker pink. is my alkalinity just that high?
And now, after doing a shock to my pool my FC level is pretty high. Here are my readings
FC-6
TC-6
PH 7.3-7.4
TA 180, that is when it turns light pink 250 when it turns pretty dark pink
Hardness- 300
CYA 32
I have been doing a lot of reading, but i don't know where to start. It would help if someone could point me in the right direction!
