Ok, i'm a new pool owner (not a new pool). Bought a house with a 14x28 IG pool with vinyl liner, sand filter, heater, and auto-cover. Thpool wasnever opened last year, and this house is in a wooded area. The pool was a mess. After a couple of weeks of work, the water is clear, the debris is gone, but there is still a green tint to the water and the test results are strange. I justgot my talor test kit yesterday, and here are the results...
5/29/13
5pm - temp 70 degrees, fc 6ppm, cc 5ppm, ph 7.9, cya 0.
Then I vacuumed the pool and added 96oz of 6% bleach (around 7:45 pm)
9:45pm - fc 5.5ppm, ph 7.8, ta 320, ch 340
5/30/13
7:15am - fc 7.5, cc 2ppm (that was all i tested this morning)
Not sure what to do next... Shock again to keep reducing cc? When do I add stabilizer (the auto-cover seems to protect the chlorine from uv somewhat... The last time I added bleach was 5/24 and I shocked with 384 oz of 6% bleach)? What do I do about the high ta and ch? Is my pool still a mess even though it looks better? All I have added to the pool since it was opened is hth, bleach, chlorine tabs, and water (city utilities). Any help is appreciated.
