My test Kit (Pentair) tests for "Chlorine Residual". What exactly is Chlorine Residual as it relates to Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine etc?
Reason I ask is that my pool has been perfect. "Residual Chlorine" levels 4+, PH 7.6, TA 70, etc. We had a downpour yesterday AM and I noticed a slight haze in the pool. Turned the SWG to "Turbo" (100%) and set the pool to run 24 hrs for extra filtering and Chlorine production. This AM, after running all night, its even more Hazy. Tested water again and still 4.0+ on Residual Chlorine. Added a little Shock in case its a bloom and the Chlorine test 1 hr after is almost a Orange Color its so high. No longer yellow.
I am ordering a Taylor Kit now but wont have for a few days. Any ideas? No signs of Algae, etc
Also, I back-washed and recharged DE yesterday AM.
