Hi All,
Thank you all for the information in these Forums! I have a algae problem that I just can't get a grip on. I've read and tested and learned that this can be quite a balancing act in the beginning of the season. We had a 'pea soup" pool from the winter so the entire pool was drained, scrubbed and refilled about 5 weeks ago. It was shocked, balanced and maintained. Algea showed up last week so I added bleach to 15ppm and kept it there for 48hrs. brushed 2-3 times a day added bleach etc. so yesterday I have cloudy crappy water with that irritating teal-green haze. I have been on the pool calc and with my numbers it suggests shock to 29ppm. I have the good test kit ordered and in the mail but for now I'm using the 6 way strips and a cheesy OCO/PH kit. Heres my #'s
TH-100
TC-1
FC-1
PH-7.4
TA-120
CYA-50
So do I need to shock to 29 with a vinyl liner as the calc suggests? Thanks in advance for having to repeat yourselves so often
