Help with balancing pool

[PoolDoc]

Opposite sides of the pool, or something similar -- make sure they are fully diluted before they mix with each other. Otherwise, you can add both.

(PoolSolutions is my site, too. The order links go to Amazon, not me, though I do get a commission. You are free to purchase locally, of course. You just have to read the chemical ingredients labels CAREFULLY!)

Ok so I just did the test and here are the results
Ph- 7.5
Ta- 300
Tc- 0

I added 1 cup of bleach right now should I keep on adding the muratic acid ? Any other advice on what my next step should be ?

You can add acid till your pH reaches 6.8 - 7.0. If you maintain the pool at that pH for a while, the alkalinity will gradually come done.

Repeat bleach doses till you get the chlorine level to DARK yellow on an OTO drops testkit. We need to know what your stabiliser level is, but you can 'guesstimate' it, once you get your chlorine up:

1. Add chlorine in the evening. If it's gone in the AM, you still have algae, or something using up the chlorine. Dose during the day, but double the PM dose. Once your chlorine level stays unchanged overnight, THEN

2. Dose in the AM and watch the results.

3. If your chlorine disappears as soon as the sun is fully out (afternoon on daylights saving time), you have little or no stabilizer.

4. If your chlorine hardly changes during the day with full sun, you have a LOT of stabilizer.

5. But, to do this right, you'll need the K2006 kit. See the test kit page, linked in my signature block, for links to the correct items on Amazon.

Since I added chlorine about an hour ago how soon can I add another cup ?

[PoolDoc]

On a small pool, you can test chlorine levels an hour or so after adding IF the pump has been running.

Ok I just ran another test and my ph is the same and my tc is barely reading so I went ahead an added another dose and I checked my cya but my tube only reads to 30 ppm and that wasn't enough to make the black dot on bottom disappear

[PoolDoc]

Double your dose size.

Sounds like you may have almost no CYA -- when you mixed the CYA test solution and the pool water, did the mix remain almost clear? (You have to let it sit for about a minute.)
