Hi All!
I had a stained liner and have followed the directions to the letter that were posted at http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/2129-Ascorbic-Treatment-to-rid-Pool-of-metal-stains . Last night at midnight the staining was completely gone! (absolutely amazing) I added the sequestering agent as instructed and switched my filter from circulate to filter. It states that after 24 hours I can start to rebalance the water.
When I start doing this I know I will need to bring up my TA and PH without getting my PH above 7.2
I know I should make changes slowly but what is slow? For example, if my TA were to be 40 and needs to be 70, what is a safe amount of change per period of time to go with?
Do I need to wait till my TA is at 70 and my PH is at 7.2 before I start bringing up my CL?
It says to slowly bring the CL up to the minimum CL for your CYA according to the "best guess chart" and to watch for any staining to come back. What is slowly? Since my CYA is 35 the minimum I should be at is 2.5 Under normal conditions it would take 46 ounces of 12.5% bleach to raise my CL 2.5 but with all the AA in the pool I understand it will take much more till the AA is gone. How much 12.5% bleach should I add at a time to keep in the "slow" category?
Sorry for so many questions I just want to do the best I can and hopefully NOT have the staining come back.
Thanks in advance!
