Well....back to last years problems, so I decided to post a reply here since it already has some of my info. New numbers:
Water temp 82
Alkalinity 220
Ph 8.0
Chlorine 0
Cya <10 I performed it twice and once was near 0 and the other about 10..I am not a chemist)
Anyways, pool was clearing...I could see bottom for days...not crystal clear, but clear. I did add more water over the last week(alkalinity is off charts on my tap water). I did put 2 tablets of trichloro(99.3%) in the skimmer(I don't know if that is a no no). Anyways, I put in muratic acid tonight...my calculations are in the backyard, but I had just enough that it should bring ph down to 7.8). My pool is about 25,000 gallons and I just put in 5 gallons of 12.5% liquid chlorine and I waited about 10 minutes in the dark(no sunlight) and chlorine level is 0. Grrrr...it was nice last week when my chlorine level held for days and now ??? I can no longer see the bottom of the pool....what am I doing wrong. I feel like I just went from one extreme to the complete opposite overnight and I don't know what I did wrong.
