New pool owner this year. Cannot seem to get deep end clear and keep it that way. Only one time (overnight to morning) after finding this forum was I able to get deep end clear but the minute i inserted the Dolphin Triton to sweep it clouded back up and has been that way ever since. I purchased the Lamotte commercial kit with all the bells and whistles (thanks TFP! Now I no longer run back and forth to the dishonest chemical salesman at the pool store!). Here are the results this morning: (added 370 oz bleach 8%, 47 oz muratic acid yesterday evening)
pH:7.4 down from 7.6 yesterday
CA Hardness: 220
CYA: 35 down from 60 yesterday
ALK: 160
Free Chlorine: 11 up from 2.4 yesterday
Residual Chlorine: 11 up from 2.8 yesterday
Combined Chlorine: 0
Bromine: 24.75 up from 5.4 yesterday
Salt: 2900
Temp: 86
Sat. Index: + 0.2
I know that I need Stabilizer. Adding that this morning 6lbs. Wish there was a place to get this other than pool store. Going to try Clorox bran from Walmart unless you advise otherwise. Ran Dolphin overnight and running it now. What else do I need to do to see that quarter on the bottom of deep end. Thanks for what you all are doing here!
