I got the Taylor test kit and discovered that my CYA was off the charts so I drained about 2/3 of the water from the pool and refilled last week.
My current test results are:
FC 0
PH 7.4
Alkalinity 100ppm
Hardness 190ppm
CYA 40
It's a 13,000 gallon pebble tec pool with a DE filter that I cleaned and re-charged two weekends ago.
I know I need to raise the FC. I've got a chlorinator with 3" pucks and will add a gallon of bleach per the Taylor analysis instructions. I also put a sock full of CYA in the skimmer to stabilize the chlorine.
My question is about the color of the water. It's a milky blue; I can see to the bottom in the deep end but it's not clear. What should I be doing to clear it up?
Thanks,
Rick
