Tested pool this morning:
FC - 0
TC - 0
pH - 6.8
TA - 90
CH - 50
CYA - 0
Had metals in the pool and currently sequestering them with Metal Magic. Pool has been running 24/7 and the water is blue but you cannot see to the bottom. Pool store told me there were phosphates present in the water. Based on some research, I've read that this could be from the Metal Magic. However I also read that adding phosphate remover would negate the effects of the Metal Magic so not sure what to do there. Wondering if the low chlorine and pH is the issue or the phosphates. I'd also like to bring the chlorine and pH levels up in the water but want to do it carefully since I am afraid to shock the pool which will oxidize the metals. I typically add liquid chlorine to the pool. Should I do this in incremental doses until I can get the chlorine levels to around 2-3 ppm?
