hi ,
I am a first time pool owner. I opened the pool this season and everything looked good for a while. I left it in attainder for a week to return to mustard and green algae in the pool. I have been shocking the pool for a week and the FC is almost non existent every morning when I tweet the water. I just learnt about the slam process and started doing it . My most recent test shows
FC 0.12
PH 7.2
ALK 78
CYA 10
Every night after I shock the pool, the next morning I see a black cloud in the bottom of pool, which I vacuum to waste. At the moment, I don’t see any algae in the walls of the pool, however the water is very cloudy and haswhite suspended particles that just don’t go away. Not sure if that is algae or something else.
Please see picture below . I tried flocking, didn’t help. Tonight the FC is at 5 , will test in the morning to see if it holds .
the next problem, the pressure gauge shows max pressure when pump is on and show 25 PSI when pump is off. Water flowfrom the jet seems to be normal. I have backwashes and Rinsed multiple times , but the pressure doesn’t come back to 0. Even if I open the pump skimmer basket , the system de pressure I’ve and comes to 20 and never below. I remember it being at 0 when not in use at the big inning of the season. I am guessing the pressure gauge is broken, am I missing anything obvious, should I call someone to fix it ?
