Good morning,
I've been going back and forth on my older 40x20 30,000Gal plaster pool between DIY, pool store recommendations, and have now landed here as my last hopeful solution. The pool went through a late season closing and an early season open in Alabama which resulted in a lot of debris and algae even with a safety cover to deal with prior to reaching the point it's in today. The water is somewhat clear, especially in the shallow end, but still not clear enough to see the bottom of the deep end. I just received my test kit today and ran through my first test, whether I did it correctly or not is a different story. Through today, I've been using Poolife Turbo Shock and IncrediPool Tabs to get it up and running. My most recent test results are listed below, and this is factoring in that 5lbs. of shock was added to it yesterday. I appreciate in advance anyone's help and advice in getting the water cleared up as I'm ready to take a new approach if it means less trips (and hopefully none in the future) to the pool store.
Tested 05/05/22 09:56AM CST - Alabama
FC 0.2
CC 2.2
PH 7.8
TA 110
CH 320
CYA 0 (Not certain I performed this test accurately, as I filled the tube entirely and the dot did not disappear)
Water Temp 80
Ambient Temp 83
