Re: The Algae Wars Continue - - -
Finally able to get everything tested - here are the results:
Pool Water - FC 2, CC 0, pH 7.0, TA 50, CH 120, CYA 0
House Water - FC 2, CC 0, pH <7.0, TA 60, CH 60
Up until the last gully washer the pool water was clear with algae laying on the bottom. We are vacuuming it to waste.
BTW, after finding this forum, last week using guess strips I added bleach until the guess strip showed 'red'. The last guess strip test was on the 13th with a best guess of 9. I stopped with the bleach because the water had cleared up and I had ordered the Taylor K2006C kit.
After the rains of the last couple of days the water is a little cloudy but nothing like it was with algae. Looks like another win for bleach so far in our war.
Thanks in advance -
