Re: Algae, TA or what?
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					Hi Guys,
I'm willing to help if you want it.  I have a unique pool that may help prove/disprove theories???  
My pool is fully insulated and covered, it stays at a constant 88 degrees and is subjected to maybe an hour or so of sunlight a month (exercise in the evenings & the sun is off the pool).  I have no CYA added to the water.  I would think it would be considered a heavily aerated pool, as the counter current alone creates a lot of air bubbles and then put me in there flailing around trying to swim upstream 
; the whole pool is filled with air bubbles for about 30-40 mins a day.
I've only used the BBB method on a fresh fill about 2 months ago.  I have added a total of one box of Borax, 1/2 gal of Acid and 1.5 gal of bleach since the refill.  I run FC between 2 & 4; only have to add 6 oz every 4 or 5 days.  Right now my TA is on the high side (150; was 230 on fill and I've been working it down in the last few weeks).  PH is 7.8, until I add acid to bring down the TA; it takes 48 hrs to go from 7.0 to 7.8.
Let me know if I can be of any help...
