Hello!
Well after years of just checking total chlorine and PH and lately being less than successful with it, I have found this community. Here is my situation:
30k gal inground vinyl, sand filter, 15 yr old with 4 yr old liner, sand changed 2 yr ago.
FC 2
TC 2
CH 90
CYA 0
TA 70
PH 6.8
I have added 16 gal of 10% liquid chlorine over the past few weeks. Even with the chlorine levels very high, the pool will not clear up. (PH was originally okay but has lowered). I thought maybe it was the sand filter so I tried the method of adding DE as described on this site with no results.
What should I focus on 1st? I assume I should get the CYA up? I took water sample to Leslie's and they told me it was 0, then bought their kit and checked it myself and the dot on the tube did not disappear until the tube was completely full so I assume they were correct.
Should I add the CYA, more shock, and baking soda all at once or get one leveled out before working on next?
Thanks!
