Greetings. Every year, after opening the pool, cleaning, balancing the water and getting the heater going, I notice a funky smell coming from the water. This morning, I removed the solar cover, which stays on the pool all night, and got testing as usual. The numbers are:
FC = 13
CC = 0
PH = 7.5
CYA = 35
The water aspect is clean and inviting. The smell is close to the surface, so I am inclined to believe it is due to the solar cover. I am not sure what to do about it. I open and close religiously, and always notice the smell. I run the pump, the cleaning equipment and it does get better after the water has been stirred real good. So, am I doing something incorrectly? Is the cover the culprit? What should I do?
Thanks
Miriam
