I'll try to be brief.
A fried of mine let their pool go over the winter. I'm picking up after some bad advice from the pool store that was given to them.
They have already shocked twice with stabilized shock, and are still running their SWCG.
18,000 gallon vinyl liner pool.
Sand filter.
So today we began with 10% Pool Chlorinating Liquid and got the FC level up to 28.
Turned off the SWCG. Brushed and vacuumed the pool. Backwashed the filter. Most of the green algae is gone, water is still terribly cloudy.
I know with such a high FC level, other results will be skewed so I don't know what they were prior.
Today I got a low pH off the chart low. Definitely way less than 7.0
Alkalinity of 50.
CYA of 70.
Should I wait until the SLAM is complete to adjust the pH or alkalinity?
