Hi,
I'm new to the forum and this is our first summer with a pool.
I have been struggling all summer trying to get the water clear. It has ranged from really cloudy (milky) to almost clear, like it is now. I have been using pool store chemicals and test strips to try and figure it out, but haven't been able to get a handle on it. After reading this forum for the past few days, I see I needed a good test kit, as I want to start using the BBB method now. I have shocked the pool several time and have always kept the FC in the 3 to 7ppm range.
This is the result of my first test with the TF-100:
FC 6
CC 1.0
TC 7
PH 7.6
TA 190
CH 350
CYA 40
Temp 80
I see that my TA and CC is high, but I'm not sure what to do first?
