Hello all, we have our pool resurfaced at the start of the year and I’m working hard to maintain chemistry. Up until Hurricane Milton, it had been going fine. I just did a phosphate removal treatment and have been adding chlorine to remove algae. This is where it stands now. Is it normal to have have high levels of free chlorine but no combined chlorine? What does that mean? I realize the chlorine level is high, usually it is around a 4 or 5.
Note: I just added 5lb baking soda two days ago, so the pH was expected. I’ve added the necessary acid.
