Re: cloudy water
Just got home and tested with my k0006 kit.
Free Chlorine - 1ppm
Combined Chlorine - 1ppm (I thought these would be different)
pH - 7.3
Total Alkalinity - 90
CYA - 0
I'm about to go add 2 boxes of the Borax that you said to add and then test later on tonight before I go to bed. I was always under the assumption that 7.2 pH was great but after reading your link - http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/hiphpool.html I'll just take your word for it.
I'm still a little confused on CYA though. I understand its a chlorine stabilizer but why don't I have any traces of it in my test? Is there not any CYA in my 3" chlorine tablets?
Either way I know the Cholorine numbers need to come up or I'll be back green shortly. I think I read on here somewhere that 5-10ppm was idea? What do I need to do next? I was going to add the borax tonight and test pH in the morning and I guess I need to get the chlorine numbers up and add the stabilizer to it. The closest pool store to me is a leslies pool supply. What is the best CYA to pick up from there? I've got to go there in the morning to get a vacuum hose since the pool place I stopped at today only had 40+ foot hoses.
