FC 0
pH 8
CYA <30
TA 80
Mucho algae (floating & at the bottom)- doing mustard shock levels after initial SLAM just to be sure!
Just used my test kit for the 1st time. I’ve read & made notes on Pool School articles, but want to make sure I’ve got my order correct before dumping chemicals:
1.) add Muriatic acid to lower pH to 7.2
2.) CYA in sock by the return, until CYA is 30-40
3.) SLAM
- Add chlorine to bring it to shock level (12-16, if CYA is 30-40)
- Retest FC & add chlorine at least 2x/day until CC is 0.5ppm or lower & it passes OCLT
- Brush & vacuum thoroughly 1x/day
- Backwash filter as needed
Do I need to do anything to adjust TA? How much chlorine should I have on hand before starting? (I only have 9 gal of 10% currently)
