I've had a trouble free pool for years now, thanks to this website. This is the first time in a long time I've had to ask a question because I'm having a problem I can't figure out how to rectify.
My pool has high chlorine (10), but is starting to grow algae. The other numbers are below:
CC= .5
FC=10
pH=7.4
TA=70
CYA=40
Confession: We had a child getting married this summer and were super busy so for the past two months have been using tablets instead of daily liquid bleach as we had been doing in the past. I still tested every day and the numbers were fine until about a week ago when they started to creep up but I just was trying to adjust the chlorinator. I am especially watchful of the CYA and that is also fine.
What do I do? Turn the chlorinator off and use liquid shock?
And since I'm asking, there has always been a discrepancy on the ideal levels for pH, TA, and CYA so if anyone can chime in with those that would be great. The website and the pool math app don't say the same thing.
Any help appreciated..thanks
