Hello all,
We have had our pool since June of last year and have had nothing but trouble with green algae. Neither my husband nor I have really educated ourselves (until now) about how to properly maintain pool chemicals. I have been reading/researching this site for about a week and received my TF100 test kit today. I did the testing a little while ago and believe I am ready to tackle the problem.
My test results are:
FC = 5
CC = 1.5
TC = 6.5
CH = 50
TA = 150
CYA = 80
pH = 7.2
Obviously my CYA is too high. My plan is to drain about half of the volume of the pool and replace it tomorrow. I will then retest everything to figure out how much liquid chlorine I need to buy to SLAM the pool properly. I plan to start that early Monday morning. Here's my question - I will be home all day Monday and Tuesday, but will be gone Wednesday morning. Do you think I will have it under control enough by then so as to not lose any ground?
Thanks,
Stephanie
