I have an intex 5000 gallon pool with a 1hp hayward 150lb sand filter. The pool is a touch of green and slightly cloudy.
FC - 6ppm but just added half gallon bleach. I wanted to raise FC in the hopes of clearing the pool, plus I'm having a large bather load later in the day.
CC - 0
CYA - 50
TA - 80
PH - 8.0
I'm assuming the pool is cloudy and green because of the high PH.
I don't want to use muriatic acid. I have citric acid in the house, but because the FC is so high I'm not sure the citric acid will take. I also don't know how much to add.
I can purchase PH down at the store, but wanted to ask here first about the citric acid.
