I have kept my pool clean until last winter, we leave the pool open, but pool leak etc. anyway, so I began with a green swamp. I didn’t have my new Testing kit and so began by just dumping in 10% liquid chlorine. Keeping my chlorine level at 20% for 5 days. (My cya according to the Last I had checked was 30 at most and so I figured that although 20 was high it was at least gonna kill the algae) after the first two day’s my pool went from green swamp to aqua grey greenish blueish so I was encouraged. However there has been no improvement since day 3. I got my kit and sure enough cya was 30, 40 at most and so I have maintained a level of 16 fc, checking 3 to 4 times a day, vacuuming, and brushing. The pool does not feel slick. Could there be another problem? Filter problem? Something else for me to check, as to why there is no improvement? Shouldn’t there be some change?
My overnight loss went from 16fc to 15.
I have a sand filter and have added DE... should I clean my sand? How do I know if the sand filter needs cleaning? Please help with ideas. I am on day 10, added a crazy amount of liquid chlorine (I’m embarrassed to say how much) and no improvement since day 3.
