New gunite pool installed recently. Pool equipment started up this past Thursday. Let it circulate for about 5 hours and sampled for PH and as expected it was higher than 8.5. Added acid 4 gallons per a pool guy helping me with pool build and PH bottomed out. So I added baking soda to raise the PH back up and it ended around 6.8. Friday morning I added 4 pounds of shock to the pool and two 3" tablets into the pool skimmer. Returned home after work to a pool that had a green tint. Thought this was probably normal but here it is Saturday night and the pool still has that green tint. So I ran the following test using the TF-100 test kit. Now this is my first set of samples so they may not be perfect.
CL 2-4 with the 5 drop test
PH 7.2 with the 5 drop test
FC 1.5
CC .5
CH 100
TA 40
CYA solution never changed any color so I could see the black dot until clear CYA test tube was full.
I have approximately a 17K gunite pool with diamond brite plaster. Please help.
Thanks,
Todd
FYI the pool was filled with well water. Below are results from test done on it prior to the pool being built. Also since the pool was filled it has rained approximately 10+ inches of rain here so there was plenty of fresh water added to the pool.
Conductivity 271
PH 7.8
Fe 0.09ppm
Ca 30
Hardness 50ppm
Alk 120ppm
