Re: Opening with very high ph and mustard algae
Water looks 100 percent better today and is very cloudy but no longer disgusting. I will get reading after work and buy acid after work. I ran the filter on recirculate last night but changed to filter this morning.
Hayward Sand Filter. S270T2. Pro Series High Rate Sand Filter
Jandy 2.5 HP Uprate pump. MHPU Series - could not find model number yet
Thank you again for helping me!
Re: Opening with very high ph and mustard algae
Here are the readings I got today. Put in Tabs in chlorinator as well as lots of bleach and liquid chlorine. Put in acid today as well.
FC 2.4
CC .8
TA 70
PH 8
Calcium 200
Re: Opening with very high ph and mustard algae
Given your low TA, I wouldn't try to push the pH below 7.6 right now. Have you tested your stabilizer level? That's critical to know.

Then, till the algae is gone, try to dose to 15 ppm (15 gallons of 6% bleach) and repeat before levels go below 5 ppm.
Re: Opening with very high ph and mustard algae
First of all thanks for all your advice
Was away for 5 days and had to do what I could before I left.
FC and CC need major dose when sun goes down
ph 7.4
TA 50ppm
CH 130ppm
CYA - The black dot does not disappear even after I filled the tube to the top.
Thanks!
