Hi everyone,
So I've been dealing with an algae bloom for a little over a week. It's been a total mess as I have been trying to SLAM it but also was missing my CYA reagent, so I was a wild guess state. I was trying to keep the pool around 10ppm in order to kill all the algae. Long story short, someone in the house took a sample of water to the store and they sold her 10lbs of stabilizer which was put into the pool bringing the CYA up to 100! In any case, I got it back down to 60 (which I think is a good level).
I've been adding chlorine, brushing, and even vacuumed one morning. The pool is still cloudy and seems bloomy In all honesty I've been trying to not SLAM too hard in order to allow ppl to swim in the pool but maybe that is just silly. In any case, I wanted to upload some pics to see what you all thought of where I'm at in this situation.
It's a 10,000 gallon in ground
FC is 4.5ppm as of this morning
CYA was 60 yesterday
thanks!
