Hello,
I was introduced to TFP about 5 yrs ago, after fighting chemicals & bad advice from the pool company (never heard that story have you!?). I just bought a new house with an old neglected pool last fall, after selling my house (pool was newer & water was great, don’t ask me why....). I elected to close the pool immediately after moving in. Just opened my pool to a green mess, initial numbers(ph-7.5, fc-0, cc-0, TA-240, ch-425, cya-10, salt-3000, borates-30), brought the ph to 7.3 & cya to 45. Them started to SLAM. I added 6gallons of bleach 12.5%, brought me to fc-42.5, 72hrs later I’m at (fc32.5, cc-.5, TA-270, ch-400, cya-45, salt-3000, borates-30). Fc is holding overnight with no loss, cc-.5. My questions start with, am I hood to start letting the sun burn down the fc to normal levels & start the swg after that? Also, I really don’t want to but should I drain & fill some to drop the ch? Then see where I’m at? Pics are at opening, then 72hrs later.
thanks for the help
