This is my first post, hope I'm in the right place! First of all, I have to thank all of you, I've learned a lot here. I had my filter crack after many years and replaced it with one that was way too small for an inground and the water was always cloudy. After a couple of months of high pressure and cartridge washing every other day I bought the 120 square ft Hayward and learned the importance of good filtration for a sparkling pool! I also learned the horror of using Dichlor pucks and having my CYA shoot up over 100+ in no time! Replaced about 30% of the water and with the help of lots of rain got it down to around 85, still have a long way to go but at least it's crystal clear. The only problem I have is small amounts of algae starting to return every couple of days. I'm guessing that will disappear with lower stabilizer levels allowing the FC to work? pH is high but I learned on here that high FC will give false pH readings, correct? FC has been high for two weeks and won't seem to come down! Why could that be?
Right now I have:
FC = 10
pH = 8.0
TA = 100
CYA = 100+
CH = 300
Can't recall my CC, I'll test and post it later.
