[JulieLeo]

Last night's tests results:

CL 21.0
CC .5
pH 7.5
TA 150
CH 50
CYA 60

This morning's test results:
CL 21.5
CC .5
ph 8.2
TA 150
CH 40
CYA 55


What's next? Pool water is crystal clear but there is sand in the bottom of the pool that I can't seem to get out.

Not sure how you went up over night.... I'd probably repeat the OCLT again tonight to be sure.

Who knows, maybe testing error. It's one drop. ?

Sand in the pool means a bad spider gasket, broken standpipe, broken laterals, or some combination of the three. The only way to diagnose it is to start taking it apart.

Smykowski -- I don't have a sand filter.

 

[Smykowski]

Um....wow. If you have sand in your pool without a sand filter, I'm not sure what to suggest. Exorcist?

 

[SunnyOptimism]

Your CC's are 0.5. Are you using the 25mL water sample to get 0.2ppm/drop ?

With CC still at 0.5ppm I'd keep up the SLAM. Seem like you're still fighting something. Also that may not be sand...perhaps mustard algae?

I have a DE filter and sand in my pool from the steps because I was a dummy and filled them with sand.
