So I’ve got a stock tank pool that I put together earlier this summer. Using the TF-100 kit, I’ve been able to keep the water under control without any algae blooms or anything. Latest numbers are FC 6.0, CC 0.0, TA 60, pH 7.5, CH 200, CYA 50, Borates 50.
However, one ongoing issue I have is with the scum left over from sunscreen after swimming. Our stock tank only has the intake to a cartridge filter below the surface, no skimmer that could pick up what floats on top. I naively purchased a hot tub/spa cleaner recommended on someone’s Pinteresty blog that was claimed to help, but that seems to be floc - which clears up the pool but also clogs my cartridge filters.
Any recommendations on how to deal with this? I’ve tried scumballs but they didn’t seem to accomplish anything.
