Hi,
I'm new to TFP! After spending way too much money at the pool store and getting green results I've decided to try pool maintenance myself. So far my wife is unimpressed with my efforts and so am I. Pool was partly cloudy through April and when the endless May rains started it seemed to get more cloudy. Now with a few days of sunshine I have an algae bloom. I put a gallon of chlorine in the pool and it was gone in a day -- still green. I have a new T-100 test kit and here are my results.
TC = 1
Ph = 8.2
TA = 60
CH = 100
CYA = 0
I used the Pool Calculator and it's telling me to ..
add 29 oz or muratic acid
83 oz of baking soda
416 oz by volume of calcium chloride
245 oz of stabilizer
Seems like a lot of chemicals. I'm not even sure what calcium chloride and stabilier are. I'm not really sure what to add first. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
John
