Ok then....Here is what I have done so far;
day 1 noon added 446oz of bleach....water quickly turned a pale green from dark green
230pm fc=.5
cc=2.5
added 446oz of bleach
4:30pm fc=1.5
cc=3.0
added 446oz of bleach
7:30pm fc=5.5
cc=3.5
ph=7.8
ta=350
ch=200
cya=0
added 264oz of bleach
11pm fc=10.5
cc=3.0
added 182oz of bleach
day 2 7:30am fc=8.5
cc=2.0
ph=8.2 oto
added 264oz of bleach.....pale green is giving way to clearer water......surprised I'm not seeing more goop in the water
10am fc=4.0
cc=2.5
added 446 oz of bleach
11am fc=12.0
cc=2.0
added 96oz of bleach.....sweeping bottom I notice a white cloud being stirred up......I vacume best I can....gauge on sand filter still at 16 psi, no change......guage is new too, just replaced old one that was stuck on 10psi, probably because of high ta and scaling?
12:30pm fc=3.5
cc=1.5
added 384oz of bleach
3pm fc=.5
cc-1.5
added 480oz of bleach
4:30pm fc=3.0
cc=1.5
added 576oz of bleach....until now I have been following the calculators recommendations on amount of bleach to add, but either my pool holds more water than I think or the bleach is being consumed that fast? It has been sunny the whole time. Now I decide to increase bleach by about 50% of what calculator says.
6:30pm fc=12.0
cc=1.0
ph=7.6 taylor
ta=325
added 156oz of bleach.......pool is starting to look good, can see bottom fairly well.....a little dead algae in spots at bottom of wall. I stir it up with brush. Other wise walls & floor look great.
8:30pm fc=14.5
cc=1.5
no bleach added
day 3 7am fc=8.5
cc=1.0
added 288 oz of bleach
8:30am fc=11.0
cc=1.0
added 192oz of bleach
11:30am added 192oz of bleach
1pm fc=.5
cc=.5
added 504oz of bleach
2:30pm fc=1.0
cc=.5
ph=7.2 oto
ta=325
added 575 oz of bleach......I think I make a mistake here adding Clorox splash free bleach (the store was out of regular) after a while the pool seems cloudier. I'm off to another store to get regular bleach.
4pm fc=1.0
cc=.5
ph=7.2 taylor
added 575oz of bleach
added 1 quart of muriatic acid to adjust ta
6pm fc=11.0
cc=1.0
ph=7.2 taylor
added 182oz of bleach
8pm topped off water with about 2"
9pm fc=14.0
cc=1.0
no bleach added
day 4 8am fc=9.0
cc=1.0
ph=7.2 taylor
ta=325
ch=200
cya=0
didn't add bleach because expecting swimmers
10am fc=3.5
cc=.5
added 460oz of bleach....reconsidered my decision at 8am not to add....even with fc at 15.0 as long as cc is 1.0 it should be ok for swimmers right?
The pool is still cloudy a bit, can't make out the seams in the liner on bottom. Don't know if it's still due to the splash free bleach or maybe high TA. It looks like I'm making progress with the CC coming down. Still loosing fc quite a bit & it doesn't hold overnight like we need. I have vacumed & backflushed daily but am suprised at the lack of any goop in water. The woman at the pool store said it would turn to cottage cheese, LOL What do you all think?
