Re: Help! My 6-year old is dying to swim and I've gotGreen water even with high FC le
#1 All items in #1 are correct with the possible exception of slimy upon opening, but that is probably correct also. I don't remember checking at this point. It was a dark green which most likely means algae was present so that statement is probably true as well. Just trying to make sure you know I did not check for slimyness at this point.
#2 The green stuff may be hard to get since I have tried to clean everything off already. I will try to get a sample from somewhere though. I am sure I can find some somewhere since it was on everything. The hoses would have been perfect to collect these samples before they were wet. How much green stuff do I need in each glass? What kind of acid, cyanuric? What kind of vitamin C tabs, like vitamin c supplements that humans take?
#3 done! I will try the revised CH test tomorrow. I wish I had known these were around when I first started using the k2006.
#4 I will try both the revised and normal CH tests tomorrow.
#5 Tomorrow
#6 No more bleach until it is down!
Bucket test for metals after 30 hours showed no change in pool water or fill water. Nothing has settled to the bottom either.
Thank you all for your help. This will be a huge confidence booster if I can finally get this fixed, although I think my daughter gave up a long time ago.
I will try to get to Wal-mart tomorrow after church to pick up distilled water and vitamin c.
