New vinyl pool owner. Located in the Southeast. Just experienced a long period of rain.
Using Borax, Bleach, Chlorine Tabs, Washing Soda
noticed pH was on the low end (around 6.8) and I added arm and hammer washing soda using the pool math calculator to raise it around 7.4. Afterwards the water became cloudy & dull. When brushing there’s a haze of “dust” that comes off the bottom and sides. Calcium deposits? Algae starting?
Acquired a Taylor TF-100 kit and obtained some values for your consideration:
Cl/Br- 5-10
pH-7.4
FC-4 ppm
CC-0 ppm
TC-4 ppm
Calcium Hardness-75 ppm
TA-180
CYA- 100<
What should my plan of attack be? I’ve read muriatic acid to lower the TA but unsure what the brown haze could be. Calcium deposits? Thanks for your help!
