Hi! Brand new pool owner here. Pool was opened a few days ago and the water was fairly clear. Its 18000 gal. I spent the past few days adjusting the pH (7.2), CYA (40ppm), and having my dolphin clean the pool (other chemical levels were ok). The pool is sparkling.
I started the SLAM process yesterday since my pool had no chlorine. Based off of the TFP app calculator, I only needed about 3-4 jugs of bleach to get up to the SLAM level (16ppm). I have been through 15 bottles of bleach in a day and a half.
Three 121oz bottles of 7.5%
Six 128oz bottles of 10%
Six 81oz bottles of 7.5%
I have only gotten the pool to 13ppm, the next time I checked it was 8ppm. I keep running to different stores to buy more bleach. I feel like I can't keep this up. I am running out of reagents and have to stop until more come. Am I doing something wrong?
