Besides this being my very first pool. I chose salt water instead of chlorine because it was said to me by the salesman that it would be less maintanance. I want to laugh because it's been nothing but that. Since we opened the pool there has been these white flakes floating on top of the water. This is really frustrating to me because I have had the water tested two times. Both times I was told the same thing add calcium, alkaline, and shock. The pool store has no idea what these white flakes are and they said they have never heard of this. I just want these white flakes to go away .
I had my pool tested for the third time and here was the results:
TC 0.0
FC 0.0
PH 7.5
TA 85
Calcium Hardness 125
Stabilizer 10
Salt 4260 (they did tell me the salt was to high)
Shock Treatment 0.0
I was told to add 32lbs of alkalinity, 36lbs calcium and a conditioner for the hardness. They did tell me the salt was high but gave me no advice on how to lower it. I tested my pool the morning all levels were good but I still have these WHITE FLAKES. HELP!!! I just want to enjoy my new pool.
