Hello.
I'm believing that the weather is going to get warmer here in Northern NY someday so we opened our pool this weekend. It's a slow process. We don't use a cover in the winter so the pool was a nice dark shade of green. We've been adding bleach like crazy and it's now a milky aqua color. It doesn't seem to be clearing beyond that.
24' AG Pool
Here are my results tonight after adding 2 jugs of 174 oz bleach.
Chlorine: darker than 5
TA: 50
PH: 7.2
CYA: reads less than 30
I'm not sure what else? I don't have a fancy test kit so I've just kind of been eyeballing it. We've been backwashing at the proper times and brushing as much of the pool as I can reach. It's freezing here and we haven't had much sun lately so I'm hoping I can get on top of the algae.
Any help and thoughts would be awesome. Thanks
