Yes day 10. First here are my readings..
FC 10
CH 140
PH 7.4
TA 170
CYA 30
As soon as my pool thawed I was eager to get it in shape for the season. Fired up the pump, vacuumed and brushed right away and brought my FC up, lowered PH because it was off the charts and added stabilizer. Once I had my numbers with in range I started my SLAM. Water has changed from green to milky white. I am loosing about 2ppm chlorine every 2-3 hrs. I am trying to keep CH at 12ppm according to the CH/CYA chart and using 12% liquid chlorine. I think I am on the right track but is this taking longer than it should?
Here is a pic from this afternoon.
