Hey everyone... hope all are having a great day. Just want to say thank you for reading this post, and thank you in advance for your help. It's really really really appreciated.
So, I'll get right to it... I have lived in this house for two years... and we have a pool. I have been "lurking" around this forum for awhile taking and applying tips. But now it's time to really get serious and finally fix this pool.
Right now it is still like a "foggy light green color".
I started the SLAMMING process a few days ago and wanted to make sure I posted in here to make sure I am doing things right. I would love a nice clear pool that the kiddos, better half, and friends can swim in this year.
Its 85 F here today & the pool water is: 78 F
I have 2 skimmers, a DE filter, and a drain that works through the filter at the bottom of the deep end.
The pool is 20,000 gallons
Day #1: Tuesday 4-18-17 (evening) - I got in my Taylor K-2006 test kit & here were the numbers:
FC - 0
Ph - 7.4
TA - 130
CH - 190
CYA - 50
I added enough liquid bleach to get the FC to 20 ppm
Test before bed:
FC - 19 ppm
CC - 1.5 ppm
Day #2 Morning Test:
FC - 18 ppm
CC - 1 ppm
Added enough liquid bleach to get it back up to 20 ppm
Day #2 Late afternoon:
FC - 10.5 ppm
CC - .5 ppm
Added enough liquid bleach to raise FC to 20 ppm
Day #2 Night Test:
FC - 19 ppm
CC - .5 ppm
Added enough liquid bleach to get FC back up to 20 ppm
Day #3 Morning Test:
FC - 16.5 ppm
CC - .5 ppm
Added enough liquid bleach to get FC back up to 20 ppm
Day #3 Afternoon Test:
FC - 18 ppm
CC - 1 ppm
Added enough liquid bleach to get FC back up to 20 ppm
* Also added a 3 lbs of Calcium Plus
Pool water temp right now is 78 F
Here's 4 pics of the pool right now (it's 5:18 pm) - not sure if they will show up ok, but worth a shot
You can see about a foot down into the water, but thats about it.
