Hi,
Wow it's been a long winter!!! This is the first time I've been back here since last fall. Missed it here!!!
So we started up our pool 2 days ago. YEAH!!! It's really green and I've been dumping bleach and running the filter 24/7. I've vac. once and will do so again today. It's slowly clearing and right now just looks cloudy with a bunch of gross stuff on the bottom.
Here are my results from today's test.
CYA- less than 30 ) I filled the tube which only goes to 30 and I could still see the dot)
Chlorine- 5
PH- 8.2 (Really high I know. How do I lower it?)
ALK- 50 is this ok??
So I'm just wondering if I'm on the right track. Thanks so much. I really enjoy reading here and have learned so much.
