Noticed through my clear cover some green coloring so I put the SWG on boost and let it crank while I was away for a week. Returned to a still light-green pool, here were my settings earlier today:
FC: 6
CC: .5
TC: 6.5
CH: 100
TA: 50
CYA: 25
Ph: 7.7
Off to the pool store for some shock. I usually use liquid shock but was told 1lb of 73% Calcium Hypochlorite super-shock granules would do the trick. He also said my Ph was too high and tried to sell me some pricey Ph reducer but I thought I'd run that by TFP ...
I added the 1lb of shock and now numbers are:
FC: 14
CC: .5
TC: 14.5
CH: 100
TA: 50
CYA: 25
Ph: 7.8
I am slowly adding CYA granules to get my CYA up. My question is, what should I do about the Ph and TA? I have never had to adjust those numbers and as I'm shocking I didn't want to do anything rash.
Pump is running 24/7 although I turned the SWG off for the night as 14 FC seems pretty high. I'll check again in the morning and if FC drops (expected) I'll use the SWG boost to get it back up and keep it up until the green is gone. Please correct me if this isn't a good plan.
Thanks for any advice!
