Tinge of Green...

[melsteph]

I noticed today my pool has a tinge of green look about it. Tested this afternoon:

FC 1
pH - 8+
TA - 220
CH - 240
CYA - 40 ish

salt - 1400 low salt error came on today
CSI when calculated says 1.17

I am turning off all water features. I have had them running during the day. We also just recently had several inches of rain. I am following pool school math but is there any certain steps I need to address first? Certain order? Thoughts? Remember I am new still to IG pool!

Follow the SLAM Process

Lower your pH to 7.2. Do it in stages assuming your current pH is 8.

Then raise your FC to 16 ppm and maintain.

ok - Thanks
do i add salt now or just wait till process is over?

Finish your SLAM and then consider if you want to add salt or wait until spring. The water temperature may lower to the point that the SWCG will not work anyway.
