Hi all,
I opened my pool last week and it has green algae (33k galloon inground vinyl pool). I ignorantly decided to shock the pool a couple of times prior to testing the water, and it got a lot cleaner, but then I got 3 days of non-stop rain. Pool is clean of all debris, but still pretty green with algae. So I tested with my TFT-100 kit (2 yrs old), and got pretty much the same results as the picture below. So I decided to drain 1/3 of my water and refill in order to fix the CYA first and then move on to TA & PH. Once that was done, I tested and got high CYA again. So got a second opinion at the pool store, and CYA is at 133. Pretty disappointed to be honest and not sure what to do next. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
