Hi genii! I'm hoping for some genius help.
Reading here for some time - FANTASTIC help through stories and answers. But I can't find one quite addressing this - apologies if there's one out there...
Pool with sand filter here in NE Texas. Clear for ages (you and poolmath). Unbelievably sparkly clear(~er than ever!) (blindingly so when manually vaccuuming!).
Started to feel it looked a tad hazy but had never seen it when cloudy and wondered if that was a factor.
Now it's green though.
At no point ever has FC moved other than feasible by sun or my additions to maintain. But also have had solar cover on except for 2 days/nights last week of July (happened to have a heatwave but often cloudy). Never found more than a possible .5 CCs. Been passing OCLTs.
Now green, but still FC never moves and CCs zero/0.5. Started to brush more when I saw saw patches of yellowish orange on the floor just before haze. Always easily brushed off and clouded up. Brushed like crazy when one morning patches were almost covering the floor. Brushed up under the top of the steel wall and all over steps hard. Everything brushed off. Greenish next day. Now denser green by the day. Not yet fully opaque (or a swamp!).
CC 40 from 50 (rain, evaporation, refill, overflow - 2-3inches was 'changed' water.
pH 7.4 or 5 now 7.2 (before slam)
TA 90 now 7.5
CYA 50 now 40
FC boosted to 18. Never moved, 'til
FC boosted to 20
CCs never more than .5
FC FINALLY moved last night down to 16. Still no change in CCs.
Huh?
Help?!
