Hey All,
After the major black algae issue in the pool, I drained it and spent a few days cleaning it. Took the filter apart and the pumps, serviced them all and had the fun of putting them all back together. Anyway, now the pool is full and I have the below results....
FC = 0
TC = 0
PH = 7.8
TA = 70
Calcium Hardness = 65
CYA = 0
So from the above results I can determine I need chlorine, I am just wondering how much chlorine I should add to my pool to get it started? Should I just start adding several gallons of bleach and keep a close eye on it over the next few days? I looked up in the Pool School section but really could not find anything that would get me started.
By the way, I used my TF100 test kit for the first time and I was pretty impressed on how easy it all was! Just took my time and within 15 minutes had all the number above on my first try!
Thanks for all your help guys, its very much appreciated.
