Hey guys,
I hope everyone is having a good swim season! As for me, not so much. Start up has been really rough this year,
My fault of coarse. Didn’t cover my pool over the winter and it took forever to get leaves and algae under control. During this, I topped off the pool with my well water forgetting the iron filter on the hose and of coarse, I have been fighting it since. I have had luck with poly fill in the past but not been getting it done this time. After the chlorine is Burt up, The pool clears up color wise but still cloudy. I added the normal liquid chlorine , and it is of coarse, changed color again. I added poly fill to the skimmer and even made up a bucket filter full of poly fill and dropped a submersible pump attached to it to add some filtration. The tests are as follows:
Chlorine: 2.5
PH: 7.5
Alkalinity:60
Cya is 0
Any advice to speed things up? I have thought about a sequesterant but haven’t used any before and worried this will lead to issues down the road. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.
