Just opened pool. 32k gallon in ground. Left it too long so it went slightly green, so shocked used Algaecide 60 and water clarifer. Algae cleared up OK. Water PH was low so started to raise it, hardness also low. Added baking soda (13lb) to increase alkalinity and PH a bit) and a bit more algaecide. Pool walls then got a uniform slight beige color. A vitamin C tablet makes it go white so I assume metals? Water is very slightly cloudy but the stain seems to be the immediate problem
Before I make matters worse, wanted to check here. Got the values below from a test kit to double check test sticks
PH 7.2
FC (either almost zero (test kit) or 3 depending on whether you believe the test kit or strip) I suspect too low
TA 50 - 60
TH 100
Calcium hardness 140
CYA 90
I use trichlor tablets and calcium hyperchlorite shock and sometime liquid chlorine (just bought more of the latter)
Suggestion?
