Hi All,
Yesterday I noticed my pool was looking cloudy and fortunately I have a pool company that comes to service the pool. I have a Taylor K2006 Test Kit and tested the pool yesterday before it got serviced.
FC = 0.2 ppm
CC = 0.4 ppm
pH = 8
A = 90-100
Calcium Hardness = 650
CYA = 60
The pool guy came today and had similar results as I. He added 1 gallon Blue Whale Shock Chlorinator (12.5%) and 1 gallon Blue Whale Muriatic Acid (33%) while the pool pump was running.
It's been about 5 hours and the pool is still cloudy. I tested again and the results were as follows:
FC = 0.6 ppm
CC = 1.2 ppm
I did not test for pH to see if it reduced.
Question: I was expecting the FC to go up to at least 5ppm. Should I add another gallon of liquid chlorine (12.5%)? Why did the CC go up from 0.4 - 1.2 ppm?
