Hi all!
We bought a house 2 years ago with a 27 foot above ground pool. It was left un covered for a few years. Last year we nearly drained and cleaned the pool and refilled. I have had it open this year for abiut a month and i have been reading and trying to understand my pool chemistry. After several pool store gotchas, I have found this forum and I'm hoping for help! I have never been able to see the bottom of the pool yet this year. After doing several things the pool center advised me too, I'm still not seeing bottom. We always have the 3 inch tablets in the floater. We have a hayward 1hp pump and a 200 pound sand filter. The pool is vinyl.
I had been trying to lower my TA these past few days with multric acid. My TA was 230 and now it's 170.
Before adding the acid we were at a 7.4 on ph.
We have also kept filteration running 95% of the time this past month. Here are my latest test done this morning at 7am.
Ph 6.8
Cl .5
Br 1
Ta 170
Cya 28
Not sure how to add pictures...
