Opened late this year because if illness and once the cover was removed I knew I had a problem. I installed a SWG and aqua logic system while pool was still covered and was hoping for Clear water, but pool had algae growing. Numbers at first were
Fc&tc 0
Ph 9+
Cya 20
I have a Taylor K-1003 and strips.
So Added muratic to drop ph to 7.3, I started a slam and have been keeping levels maxed for chlorine as much as I can tell with my test methods. I put a few pucks into skimmer to bring up cya. My current pool store levels are as follows at the end of the slam with tc holding:
FC 7.5
TC 0
Ph 7.6
TA 80
Ch 220
Cya 60
Iron 0
Copper 0
Phosphate 2500ppb
Temp 72
I am just about to fire up chlorine generator as I added all the sale during slam. I was hoping the staining would get better during slam but no. I am considering a absorbing treatment but I tried a puck and vitamin C tab with no change. The new stains are like megapixels. Thousands of small dots everywhere. Other pics are from the amoeba shaped stains that carried over from last season. Any ideas?? Or should I acid wash next spring?
Thank you
