hello all, first off I want to say thanks to site admin. This site is information packed!! I opened my pool 5 days ago and water was a little cloudy with some algae on stairs and around skimmers, but nothing like the first year i opened to black death! ha. i followed the slam tut. checked levels prior to start FC = 0
cya = 50
borate = 30
ph =7.5
after 2 days of slam and cleaning water clear and cc = .5, so i turned my generator to 30% from super chlorinated and i adjusted my cya back up to 70 as recommeded. Then after putting on solar cover the next day i checked my fC and it's still at shock levels 21, i know with cold water it takes time for FC to drop (temp 65) but how long? should i turn off generate till it drops? going to be heating up pool for weekend and i want kids to be able to swim.
thanks in advance
