Friday afternoon I tested the water with my K-2006
FC 5.5
cc 0
pH 8.0 or higher, was really red
TA 150
CH 180
CYA 35
We had a huge rainstorm on Friday night and I woke up to a green pool, there was what looked like green dust on the bottom and on the tile. The FC level was still around 5 in the morning, no CC. But the CYA read 60, from other posts I think this may be a false reading due to the cloudy green water.
I added liquid bleach to get my FC level up to 18, and it looks like its getting better (a little ) after half a day.
Two questions?
1. Can I add acid while I am shocking to get the PH and TA under control, or do I need to wait till the FC levels are lower again
2. In general, how do you bring the FC levels back after the green clears up. Do I just not add any bleach until the FC levels get back to target? Or do I still add bleach at lower levels?
Thanks all for this site, would be so lost without it!!!!!!
