Hello,
I've had my TFT kit for around 2 weeks and can't figure out why algae is still growing in my pool. I was following the typo on the Weekly Test Kit laminated sheet, so I thought my levels were lower than they actually were. In the equation example the test kit sheet has (i.e. 14 drops x .05= 7) instead of x .5. Just figured that out.
That being said, here were my levels BEFORE going into super shock mode.
FC 15 gr
CC .5
TC 15.5
TA 80
CYA 60
I've added two gallons of liquid shock and two bags of granular shock and put 2 new hockey pucks in the floater and am going to retest shortly. I scrubbed down the pool walls to get rid of the green once again.
Temperature has been unusually cool this week.
