Re: Tough Algae even with high chlorine
Thank you all for your help and guidance let me know if there is way I can compensate for you time and your guidance, I did order the F-1515 kit using the link in the previous post.
Meanwhile I followed BigDave's advice and used the 1:5 ratio pool water to distiller water the color is darker than 5 I could not see any difference between FC & TC so I guess that might be due to the very high chlorine content.
Here are my numbers
FC > 25
PH 7.6 (I did not use any chlorine neutralizer)
TA 110 (now this was tricky, the color did to change even after 30 drop then I had to redo the test with 6 drops of R-0007 thiosulfate and then it worked)
CA 175
CYA 90 ( same as yesterday and I have moved the tricolor pucks from the feeder)
I have started vacuuming things do look much better than yesterday the water has that greenish tint but it is more blue than green. I will continue to vacuums and brush, would vacuuming to waste and adding new water make it worst due to lose of chlorine?
Re there any benefits in the clarifies or adding algae guards?
Again your help is much appreciated I did convey to the kids that there is hope and they are excited and are actually helping without minding the above 90 temperature.
Thank you!
