Green pool, SWG broken - advise on how to maintain pool until SWG is fixed.

10 ml mark - 11 drops til clear = 5.5 FC reading?

 

[cj3737]

Exactly! Perfect. 10 ml mark will save on your reagents for that test.

So ph is 7.6 fc is 5.5 and cya is 30...perfect slamming conditions

Last thing is to drop your ph again down to about 7.2

you sound excited. Im praying here.
So 26oz of MA should do it?

What should I do next? Im out of town for tomorrow until the evening.

 

[cj3737]

I'm excited cuz your doing great!

Did pool math tell you 26?

Yes, i typed in 7.6 ph with target 7.2 ph for 13000 gal pool - 26 oz is the answer (I think).

 

[cj3737]

did you set your TA level in pool math? 170 I think you said.. that change the amount you need. When doing pool math, make sure all your current numbers are input or your amounts will be off a bit

 

[trevsand]

TA was 160 so pool math now says 42 oz of MA.
Ill pour it now.

What is next? I may have to buy products as I'm out of bleach and stabilizer.

 

[cj3737]

42 is correct.
You'll need at least 12 gallons of bleach and some stabilizer

Since you havent started into your official slam yet its not detrimental, but you need to maintain the chlorine level. Any chance you can get to the store for a gallon tonight? I really dont want you to lose momentum

 

[trevsand]

Yes, I can go now. Ill buy gallons of bleach. What stabilizer do you recommend?

 

[cj3737]

Clorox or hth chlorine stabilizer if you can find it

I thought chlorox is the bleach?
how much hth chlorine stabilizer do i need

 

[cj3737]

Clorox makes stabilizer too. 4lb bottle will be fine

Thanks for your help so far.
Ive added the MA and waiting to do the final 1 gal of bleach.
I leave early tomorrow. What should I plan to do as I get home?

 

[cj3737]

Throw in the gallon tonight then check your fc tomorrow morning.

How much is enough? At 5.5 FC, I need 4 jugs, per school math to get to 16?

 

[cj3737]

We're not starting the actual slam just yet. Just trying to get your chlorine up in preparation. Are you using the 6.25% or the 8.25% bleach?

 

[trevsand]

Great value is only 4.25%. Chlorox bleach doesn't have a value on the label.
