Lost my solid cover so last fall I used a mesh and some pool pillows to cover the pool in NJ, Last Sunday with great difficulty pulled off the mesh cover with tons of wet leaves and very brown water, since Monday I have had the following
FC =.26
TC= 1.73
PH= 7.1
TA= 86
CH= 115
CYA= 5
Above #s are courtesy of Leslie`s pool
the pump has been running continuesly, water is green currently, My free Chlorine has been Zero for the past 4 days despite shocking the pool every night, my own testing confirms Leslie's #s which are much more accurate. I started to raise the CYA tonight by adding the 4 LBS of conditioner, I added 10 lbs of calcium chloride to bring up the CH. Been brushing and backwashing as well for the past 4 days, my Polaris robot also is getting a workout and picking up sludge from the abyss. I added one gallon of Bleach to the pool tonight to see if the FC will be present in the morning tomorrow. once the CYA goes up I will shock the pool again
question is what should I do If the water does not clear up
