Hello, I inherited a pool that had great readings all summer but I didn't know what I was doing, blissful ignorance.
After covering with a solar cover, I now have an algae bloom that won't go away even after shocking. I have done my research and I need to get my PH down to start a SLAM.
My PH has read 8.4 for a bit now which is the highest level the test will go.
I have added 5lbs of dry acid and 1 gallon of 31% MA with no change to PH.
Pool calculator is recommending 7lbs of dry acid but the sheer amount I'm putting in makes me nervous.
21k gallon above ground vinyl pool with cartridge filter, normally chlorinate with trichlor tabs in a feeder (but not currently as it's just disappearing)
