Preface:
I have metals in my water. I believe I've got them under control. The cloudy water is a bit of a pain so I figured I'd post my new PS234 results and consult the experts before I do anymore damage.
Results:
FC-17
cc-.5
tc-17.5
ph-7.2
alk-150
cal-130
cya-0
**Was going great until I went away for the weekend and my housesitter decided to play in the pool and accidently deflated my blow-up top ring which messed up the filter and so I returned to the evil cloud and too little water in the pool. I had to Well Fill/top off and the water turned brown(metals) added some AA to get the brown out. Added Pool Magnet. Also threw in some Clarifyer, circulated for a few hours, then let it sit for a few hours. The water was still cloudy so I decided to Vaccum w/filter because I know I'll have to vaccum to waste once I get the Cloud down. Which will cause me to refill from well, then start the Metal process all over again. My challenge right now is to determine if the cloud is Algea and requires me to keep my Chlorine up. According to the 'Best Guess' it looks like shock level for me right now is about 10. I'm trying to learn but I'm fighting patience which has caused the AA,Clarifyer, and Vaccum.
What do you think?
