I bought a house with a pool and moved in 5 days ago. The pool has some issues. I am hoping y'all can help me to come up with a plan to clean it up.
Current TF-100 test results
FC: none
CC: --
pH: 7.5
TA: 270
CH: 1200
CYA: 160
The water temp is 84-ish making CSI 1.6
I was trying to get the chlorine level up by adding 4 gallons of 60 day old 10% Kemtek chlorine from Lowes but FC never got above 2. CC also got up to 2. I was worried the pH and TA was dong a number on the year old VS pump. 3 gallons of 14.5% muriatic acid added over 4 hours reduced pH from >8.2 and TA from 320.
Since I didn't get back to Lowes to buy more chlorine yesterday some green is definitely starting to show around the pool. Today I see a line of light green around the pool light which I take to be a bad omen.
Additionally I can't backflush the filter due to a multiport valve I can't trust to return to filter. A new one is on order but it'll be next weekend before i can install it.
What is a good plan to get this under control?
