Test results before big rain yesterday:
Ph: 7.8
FC: 4
latest other numbers from four days ago:
TA: 120
CYA: 40
CC: 0
I had my pump off for ~16 hours during the storm. Lots of lightning and a bit of flooding (I was told to turn off equipment during that. Yes/no?).
I awoke this morning to slightly cloudy water. Not bad, but not crystal. I backwashed and wasted about 2 inches. The pool wasn’t overflowing, but water was very high. Big winds blowing water (but not much debris) into the pool, and likely some runoff from the cement patio.
FC was still roughly 4 after the rainfall. Ph was 8. I added some bleach.
Then tested today:
FC: 5.5
CC: .5
Ph: 8
TA: 110
CH: 125
CYA: 30
I then added muriatic acid. Ph is now 7.2.
1) should I SLAM?
2) Did I overdo it on the muriatic acid? Should I aerate? Increase manually? Or, can I let it creep (it usually does a bit)? Vinyl liner.
Thank you!!
