Eye burn?????

[Bski224]

Hey guys, just got out of pool and eyes are stinging a bit. Did a quick test with TF100.
PH 7.5-7.8
FC 3.5
CC 1
TA 110
Water is very slightly cloudy. Thoughts??

Did you test your CYA?

That CC is a prime suspect. Between that and the cloudy water I'd say something's up that's going to necessitate the SLAM Process.

Dang, water was 100% perfect over the weekend. Not a fan of doing slam.

Agree. Chloramines = red eyes

To know if a fc of 3.5 is acceptable or is low & allowing nasties to fester an accurate cya reading is a must.
But Cloudy water + elevated cc’s = SLAM Process time.
At the appropriate level for your cya of course. FC/CYA Levels

Nobody is Bsk. But your choices are to have an easy one before it spirals out of control, or trying to contain a swamp.

Be happy you caught it early and do what needs doing.

CC

CC would be my guess as well. During the winter, we kept the pool heated and under a solar cover. I would pull the cover up to test and add chlorine. One night swimming we had eye irritation pretty bad. I don't remember where the CC level was, but I read that having the cover on wasn't allowing the sunlight to burn off the CC and kept it trapped underneath the cover. Started pulling the cover up for a couple of hours and problem solved!
