Since converting to Bleach the pool has been crystal clear this season. We have had people in it every weekend lately and t's had a heavy bather load. I have been keeping the Chlorine level high due to a previous medium-high CYA reading. I've been running it between 7-10 ppm. Keeping it super clean, sweeping it daily etc. Had people people over saturday and it was beautiful, Monday after work.....Algae blooming like crazy! It has been pretty warm and the water temp has come up to around 90 degrees. Yesterday I dropped 4 tablets of Trichlor in the skimmer to get some more chlorine in it until I can get some shock or a ton of bleach. A LOT of water has been replaced since the CYA read high so I'm sure it's much lower by now as I;ve only used bleach since learning of the tablet issues. The water is cloudy today as I stirred the algae us and left it running all night with the tablets in to dispense more chlorine into the water. I hope to vac on waste to remove anything that drops to the bottom. I sure hope this isn't too hard to clear up as I've really enjoyed how easy the pool has been to take care of so far this year. I do not have a full test as I ran out of some reagents(currently waiting on order to come in from tftkits)...
As of right now, all I should do is "SLAM" it and wait for the cloudiness to clear afterwards right? I've been enjoying the TFP way so much lately I have almost forgot how to handle this problem!
