Update: I did the slow hose drain until tonight and was ready to shock... but to do so I need new measurements, mainly being CYA (I know it's lower, but how much I suppose considering my very slow process) and then the pH (according to SLAM walk through).
My main questions now are:
Thank you again!
My main questions now are:
- Is there any cause for concern for running a pool filter when you know the pool is full of algae and very low on chlorine?
- After the slow water displacement replacement method is it common/best practice to run your filter before adding chlorine so you can re-measure your chemicals?
- My Robot is a Dolphin s200, and is it safe to run this thing back to back for an entire day for a few days while I SLAM (would have to be manually turned on so it won't run while sleeping, but I would hose off the filters between runs)? I do not have another type of vacuum on hand but was told those robots do vacuum the entire pool.
- If I need to add muriatic acid to lower the pH, is Klean-Strip® Green™ Muriatic Acid, 1 Gallon Robot or human? a good one? I don't see any label that lists ingredients, but this does say it has less fumes than other muriatic acid, so my concern would be there is some additive or something I might not want in my pool.
Thank you again!
