Re: Aqua green pool
Thanks for the help!!!
I have been gone for the last week and my wife has been taking care of the pool. I gave her your instructions and she added 2 gals. each night and worked at getting the ph down. I told her to go to the pool store for muriatic acid and they did not have any. The pool people told her that using muriatic acid would eat holes in the linner. I was also a little worried about her handling this product. I told her to just buy what thet were selling which she did. She put in 10lbs of sodium bisulfate which did get the ph down to 7 last night. I returned home this morning and checked the ph and added 8 gals of bleach this morning account it was overcasat. I also vaced the pool and brushed the sides. Then I backed washed the sand filter. I did run some test this afternoon and here are the results:
chlorine very orange OTO reading
PH 7.2
TA 130 (i could not get the test to turn red just yellow after 13 drops??)
CYA 110
It is raining now but the pool looks a lot better!!! The water is blue and cloudy but not green anymore.
I do have a few questions
(1) How long will it take for the chlorine levels to drop after this prosess is done? (kids want in the pool)
(2) how much bleach will it take to maintain the pool after we are done?
I will test the chlorine and ph again tonight and post the results.
