Ok,
I know this is a beat to death subject but I can't really find anything on here that meets all of my criteria for this question. I just bought a house that has an inground pool, plaster, approx 30K gallons with an attached spa, solar heated. It hadn't been drained in over 5 years and the water (I was told by my pool guy...who I have since fired) was chemically saturated. We drained the pool, did an acid wash, repaired a broken light, and replaced a missing drain cover. I refilled the pool and started noticing algae after about a week....this is why I fired the pool guy....he said everything was "good to go". Anyways, here is my question:
How long does it take to get the FC levels to where they need to be?
FC - 0
PH - 7.8
CYA - 50-60
TA - 130
Water temp - 82-86 degrees.
Tested with Taylor test kit.
I have been pouring liquid bleach in the skimmer, added one of those floats with chlorine tablets in it, and I have an inline chlorinator with tablets in it as well. Why is my FC still 0? Thanks.
p.s. The algae is gone now.
