Salt cell quit in me and pool turned green before i could get another one. FC is 6. I know i have to get it up. How much bleach shoild i use. Been usung 3 gallons a night and hasnt touched the stuff. CC is 0, PH is 7.4, TA is 130, CH is 110 and CYA is 70. Thanks in advance.
Shock level for a pool with a CYA of 70 is 20ppm. In a 21K gallon pool, each gallon (4 quarts) of 6% bleach will add about 3ppm of chlorine. Each gallon of 8.25% bleach will add 4ppm. Use that info to help you figure out how much chlorine to add each time you test to get the chlorine level back up to 20.
Checked this AM and it was 18. Went ahead and dropped 2 gallons. Should be obercast mostly today with TS Andrea. Will check again this evening. Should i sweep everyday?
Is there debris on the floor to be vacuumed up? If so, then yes. You can also brush the floor and sides which will help the bleach kill the algae faster.
I don believe there is. Cant see the bottom. I gave it a good sweep. Will check chlorine levels here shortly. Been raining non stop all day so i am sure its deluted some.
Should I get my CL up around 26-30 so it doesnt drop below 20 during the day when I am at work? I start the day at 20 or a little higher and its down to 16ish at night. Dont seem to be making much headway with the green.
Right! enough chlorine to keep the FC at or above shock level at all times.
