Hi, newbie here, I was asked to post my test levels to help solve my green and cloudy pool.
First of all, the only tests that I have currently are OTO type chlorine test, PH, and Total Alkalinity. And the TA test is from my KH test kit that I use on my fish aquariums.
Last night I added two gallons of Bleach 5.25%
Pool : Vinyl 19790 Gallons IG.
Tested this morning.
Total Chlorine 0.5
PH 7.0
TA 71.6
So obviously I need to do a few things.
I'm also running a Auto Chlorinator thing which has two pucks in it as of last night.
I'm going shopping at lunch time for a large quantity of Baking Soda, Wash Soda and Borax( that is if I can find them) and more bleach.
How much of these chemicals will I need?
I will also be looking for affordable test kits that measure some of the other parameters. Anybody know where in Canada to get these other test kits. Like CYA, FC, etc.
thanks in advance
