Hi Guys,
Ive opened our pool for the first time (bought house last summer).
Its 25000 gal vinyl liner pool probably 15+ years old, chlorine with a cartridge filter.
When I opened the pool it was green and nasty.
I've tried to get my water chemistry in line. I was having trouble getting the Free Chlorine up with shock and took a water sample to be tested today.
FAC - 1.5
TAC - 2.0
CH - 150
CYA - 28
TA - 80
pH - 7.3
I wanted to get the FAC up so added 4 gallons of 8.5% NaOLC.
After 4 hours I have FAC and TAC at 10 each.
The other reading are about the same before bleach addition.
The water has been clearing but is far from clear. I have a green have and the water is cloudy.
What would/should I do at this point?
Thanks,
Bryan (Pool NewB)
