I’ve been successfully maintaining my pool with the TFP method for 7 years. But, I’m stuck this last few weeks and I hope someone can help.
I refilled my pool about 3 months ago. Got borates in there, got CYA to 60 (I’m in Arizona), got the alkalitnity where I wanted it (50-60 range), and all was well with chlorine loss at about 1.5ppm per day.
Then I missed a week and Chlorine got to 0 for a day or two. No visible algae. The pool looks great. But, it started eating a lot of chlorine. So, I decided to SLAM it. I’m now at 10 days of keeping the chlorine level over 20ppm and it’s still eating through 10-12ppm per day of chlorine (2-3 gallons a day in my 20,000 gallon pool). I don’t know what to do. I can’t keep putting $10/day of chlorine in this thing.
Any suggestions? Much thanks.
