New to the site. Thanks for your patience.
20,000 gallon, gunite finish
Earlier this week I decided to use Leslie’s stain component to remove a few stains.
Hindsight I should’ve left everything alone.
I followed all the instructions. Using a metal free program in addition to Leslie’s stain removal program.
At completion. I cleaned the filter cartridges and tested the water. The chlorine was .5. So after 4 hours - this is where I messed up. I checked the chlorine and it and hadn’t risen.
So anyway - I shocked the Dang pool. Overnight it turned green. I’m thinking I introduced metal back into the pool.
I was thinking that using Cu-later pacs would help clear up the pool. Nothing.
My latest test this morning.
Total Chlorine 8.9
Free chlorine 8.9
Alk 114
pH 7.7
Calcium 0
Cya 129
Phosphate 362
My question is this:
Will draining the pool by at least a foot, cleaning filter and adding fresh water. Will this be enough to drop the cya levels to 50 or so. I plan on having to do this again after filling the pool back to a normal level.
Is there anything else that I should consider?
