Hi
I need some help and I am going crazy trying to figure this out.
I have a 30,000L I ground vinyl pool. The pool is 1 year old.
This summer we had issues balancing the pool chemicals so we went to the store to have the water checked. We had low chlorine levels a Low ph around 6.
The store gave us 4 KG of alka+ which is used to increase the alkalinity and the ph. When putting it in the pool the ph and alkalinity was normal levels.
He then gave me 3 bags of pool shock. HTH Extra Super Shock (454g). I normally put the shocks at the water return jets and keep the pump running.
After putting the pool shock I had my water tested. The free chorine went to 25 ppm. The day was 43 Celsius, the following day it was still at 19 PPM, so I emptied 2 feet of water and added the water back and it was still at 14 PPM. I then proceeded to get a choline our solution that got rid of all the chlorine.
I am back to normal levels between 2 and 3 ppm.
I noticed now that I have a white section in my pool liner. I am confused, when touching the liner it is rough and bumpy. There is no way for me to get the white spot off.
Is this a chemical burn or calcium buildup?
Did I damage my liner?
What tests can I do to ensure I did not damage my liner?
Having a high free chlorine close to 30 ppm for 2 days did it damage the rest of the liner ?
No one ever mentioned to me that I should dissolve the pool shock in a bucket of water before.
Thanks,
