Hi All! Last summer was my first taking care of a pool and it didn't go so well. I've since discovered this website, ordered and received a T-100 test kit, and I just took my first water samples. The results are really, really bad!
FC - 1.5
CC - 0.5
pH - 8.0
TA - 200
CH - 500
CYA - 120
It's strange to me that they are so bad as the pool is crystal clear. There is some black algae growing on the bottom and sides of the pool, but otherwise it looks really good. PoolMath tells me that I need to replace somewhere between 50-65% of the water to get everything back in line. That would be a major expense - is there any other way to fix these issues? Thanks for the help!
