OK, Im back and still have issues.
OK - pool is clear, crystal clear.
In the last post, I took the lights out - a bunch of junk was behind it. I used Algaecide 2000. The next day I had all kinds of stuff on the bottom of the pool. I scrubbed the sides, steps, ladder, etc. One light got most of its shiny sheen back. The other light - not so much. the SWG was producing FC and it went well for a bit. Now, I have no signs on black on the in floor cleaners (good). FC went was zero last Thursday and on Sunday it was non existent. I took the pool sample to the pool store and it was perfect (or according to my print out).
Here's what I have:
TDS 5000
CYA 134
Tot Chlorine: 1..9
FC 1.9
PH 7.6
Total Alkalinity 125
Adj Total Alkalinity 85
Total Hardness 291
Salt 3600
I havent ordered the test kit here yet. I added 4 gallons of liquid shock tonight. My question is; do you think the algae is back and not existent? I took the pentair gear out to let it run and get the circulation going in the pool. The floor cleaners are up and working.
I have to have something in the pool organic although the pool is perfect in terms of clarity. I had the pool store test for phosphates and they were normal. Im open to suggestions. I have not had 1 issue in hte past with this before. I did take the pool chlorinator off to clean it and activated it in a cooler - generated chlorine like crazy in about 30 seconds. I have an intellichlor IC 40.
Do you think I should take lights out again? Is there a better stronger pool algae killer inhibitor. I did drain 18 inches of water off and refilled.
Im not sure where to go from here. Pools great other than no FC and a very low faint chlorine.
Thanks
