Hi,
I just took my readings this morning and this is what I have:
pH 7.0 (was 7.4 before I added the shock last night)
FC 15
CC 1
TA 125
CH 175
I didn't test CYA because I didn't want to waste the test solutions when I know I just started using the Poolbrand with stabiizer.
What I have is a pool that looks like the water at the Polar Bear's exhibit at the zoo. It is not green anymore but somewhat aqua blue. I cannot see the scrub/vacuum brush at the very bottom of the pool, but can see it well til about that point. When I use the watergram slide circle, it says that I have a -.4 TDS which is corrosive and contributes to cloudiness. How do I raise my pH without raising my alkalinity? I had used some Soda Ash at the beginning of the season and Ca-hypochlorite attempting to open the pool, but I was wondering if I had made chalk??Calcium Carbonate?
I have added Borax as an attempt to control algae (1 box) My pool is 10,000 gallons btw and is a vinyl pool. I know I sound like the mad scientist adding this and that…Sorry. Thanks for any recommendations!
