18' 42" round steel ABG pool. Yesterday morning I added 1 whole container of Stabilizer, ran pump all day along with 2nd larger pump-which I rigged up to get more aeration -(both use cartridge filters), shocked last night(pumps still running).
These are the results of tests I did yesterday and today using the TF-100 Kit:
yesterday today:
FC: 8.0 FC:8.5
CC: 0 CC: 0
TC: 14.5 TC:8.5
pH: 7.8 pH:6.8
T/A:100 T/A:110
CH: 50 CH: 80
CYA: 0 CYA: 60
water temp.:90 water temp.:92
I have not brushed sides/floor yet. Pool is still not crystal clear-is still a little dingy looking. I was told in the forum to keep the chlorine level up to shock level til water is clear ( kill algae). I'm no rocket scientist so could someone "hold my hand" and get me thru this, please? I'm so afraid I'll make a mistake and have to start all over--which is unforgivable in my g'kids eyes! Thanks so much everybody, Ruby
