Not my pool, a co-worker. Inground, 25K gallon, vinyl liner. 2 wall returns, no floor returns. 2 skimmers opposite ends of the pool and one pool drain in the deep end.
He says he has a pink/white slime issue and maybe some algae.
I had him bring in a sample of his pool water into work today and I brought in my TF-100 kit
TA = 110
pH = 6.8 to 7.0 (Very low)
CH = 250
FC = 2
CC = 4
Total CL = 6
CYA = 90. he has been using tablets/sticks in his skimmers.
According to the CYA vs chlorine chart, a CYA of 90 requires 30+ ppm of chlorine shock level. That is super high. Is it necessary to go that high? Will that damage his liner or the pump equipment?
He cannot drain and refill easily because he is on a well.
Suggestions for the pH and the shocking/cleanup?
