I live in Clear Lake, Wi. Our pool was put up and filled 3 weeks ago when temps were in the 70's most days but usually colder. Now it's in the 80's most days with a few 90% days. This is our first year with a salt water system so we are new at this. When setting it all up I called tech support for our Intex SWS to ask what cyanuric acid was and if we need to use it, they said no so we didn't. We added the recommended 300lbs. of salt. We did everything according to the instructions. Four days ago the pool turned green. The day after a thunderstorm and temps in the 90's with high humidity. Well once the pool turned green I started doing research online and we ran the boost cycle for 24 hours and it was still green. We added 3lbs of cyanuric acid, and another bag of salt because the low salt light came on. After the first boost cycle was done we vacuumed the bottom of the pool being careful not to stir it up while doing it and replaced the water lost during this. WE replaced the pump filter and ran the boost cycle a second time. At this point the water was still a light green. We put the robot in and let it run for an hour. No change. We ran the boost cycle again last night and my husband added another 40lb. bag of salt this morning because the low salt light was on again. I only had test strips that came with the sws so I went today and bought some that test for everything accept CC. These are the results:
TH= between 400-1000
FC= 0
PH = 8.4
TA = 240
CYA = 30-50
salt = 3030 ppm
I am at a loss as to why there is no FC? The SWS has been running non stop for three days. If someone could tell me what to do and it what order it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
