Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum but i have been really blessed with all the information that is available on this site. I thank all of you for your awesome posts. I apologize if i am asking a question that was answered already.
pool readings with Taylor K-2006
FC 7.5ppm
TC 0 ppm
ALK 30ppm
CYA 60ppm ** not sure if totally acurate not great at the testing procedure yet....
Ph 7.2
I had a large algae bloom (at least i think so after reading posts) and my pool was dark green and nasty, similar to when i opened it in May. So i proceeded to shock the pool again. Got the chlorine up to around 20ppm and the pool started to change back to the right color. It was staying light green for a few days with no improvement. I changed the cartridge filter out because the filter in it was full of dead algae. With the new filter in, the pool has gone to a light blue color but is still very cloudy. 4.5 ft deep pool but can only see down about 2 feet and blurry.
Should i take the chlorine up high again? Or is it the cartridge filter again? The new filter has been running 24/7 for 3 days now and so far not clearing up. I have been maintaining the FC at 10ppm for the last 3 days. Drops to 7.5 from am to pm.
Any advice?
Thanks!
