Hi Guys,
As I open our pool for the season (I have been delayed by issues with the mechanicals), I am trying to get the water back into balance. I am wondering how much chlorine is left in the world, because I am pretty sure that I am on the verge of using it all... I am adding 4 to 6 pounds of powder or gallons per day.
The was no CYA when I first opened the pool, and now I have CYA up to near 40. I am trying to achieve a SLAM, but my overnight chlorine loss is still almost total.
The water did go from pea soup green to a very light green, and I have brushed the sides and bottom a few times. I cannot quite see the bottom anywhere except the shallowest end. Is it probable that the high chlorine consumption is due to organic matter still lurking in the pool?
As usual, any help will be appreciated.
