Just started to open the pool yesterday. It was a little dirty on the bottom, but water was clear. So I filled it up, got the pump started, and vacuumed out the dirt. I had to leave for my son’s soccer game, so I put some shock in it until I could check everything. A couple hours later we got home and the pool was a brownish yellow color. You can still see through it, it’s not cloudy or green, and I am not sure what caused it. Here are the results when I tested everything:
FC - 12
CC - .5
pH - 6.6
TA - 30
CH - 60
CYA - 40
What could have caused the discoloration? I believed it might just be algae, but the FC would start dropping I thought. I tested again this morning after balancing a few things and here are the numbers:
FC - 12
CC - .5
pH - 7.2
TA - 60
CH - 60
CYA - 40
Our neighbor has several pecan trees that are dropping tons of crud in our yard and pool, and I was wondering if all those pollen strands could cause it? I attached a couple of pictures, one of the pool and one of the mound of pollen we have to continually remove. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
