Hello all,
So I'm having a party tomorrow and it seems I've turned my pool green today (of course!). This is an approx. 3 month old pebble pool, which I've successfully managed thus far using the TFP method. Since startup, I've added only liquid chlorine and acid, with the exception of using trichlor while on vacation once. The water has been clear blue with no problems.
I recently decided that I will add a SWG, which I have not yet done. In the mean time, I decided to add salt to about 2,000 ppm just for the potential water-feel benefits, since I was going to add salt anyway once I decide on a generator. I added 400# (according to Pool Math) of Clorox pool salt and brushed until it dissolved, which it did quickly. About 20 minutes later, the water is clear, but green-tinted. The MSDS lists only sodium chloride. Thoughts? Advice?
FC: 8
CC: 0.5
pH: 7.7
TA: 80
CYA: 50
Salt 3,000 (seems dissolved, but may not be fully mixed)
CSI: -0.14
Temp: 86
