All season we have been fighting our pool to keep chlorine. The pool water has been crystal clear, no algae growth on the walls, floor, no slimy-ness feel, no cloudiness. At one point maybe 6 or so weeks ago the pool store did test for nitrates and they were a little high. Over the course of 2 days we lowered and refilled the pool 12" at a time 6 times.
We are on a Frog chlorinator and it has been set at full (8) all year, its going through a tablet pack in less than 5 days. Past seasons I was able to have it set on 2-2.5 and the chlorine would be at a perfect level and the packs would last 2-3weeks. We have gone through 3 times the amount of tablet packs this season, added liquid chlorine (this is the first season the pool store started to sell us liquid chlorine) about a month ago I told them I wanted to go back to using the Clear Result Powdered Shock. Previous seasons I was able to run the filter system 12-14 hours and off 8-10, This year the pump hasn't shut off since it was opened. No dirt or foreign matter on the bottom, baskets are kept clean, backwash weekly.
Attached is my water test from the pool store the other day. They always tell us the same thing "everyone is having a hard time keeping chlorine this year". Thats great because you sell chlorine but it doesn't mean that it is correct
Any ideas?
