Our pool is new, only up and running about 10 days. Started with very high iron on filling, water was orange then green after adding chlorine float.
6/28 stopped the chlorine (float with 3” pucks) added 16oz metal magic, ran filter for 8 hours then had a power outage for 2 days.
6/30 added remainder of metal magic, 1 gallon of chlorine and 16oz polyquat 60
7/2 add chlorine float back in (husband forgot about it) and 1 bag quick shock
Water cloudy and slightly green but improving a little each day.
7/6 Water looking much better, starting to look blue finally but slightly cloudy still
test results (kit finally arrived was relying on pool store until now)
Taylor k2006: TA 325 / store: TA 220
PH 7.6 / PH 7.6

FC 2.8 / FC 3
CC 0.4 / TC 3
CYA >30 /

Temp 86
So they gave instructions to add muratic acid (24oz) away from skimmer and returns, run filter 30min then leave off overnight, then run filter in the am at least 4-6 hours (we do 8hours daily) and retest in 2-3 days. When I put that amount of MA 31.45% into the pool calculator it only says it will lower TA by 11 is that the correct amount?
