Turning my algae farm back into a swimming pool

[Watermom]

Wow! I'm surprised that the local pool store would have set me up with more pump than needed.

We see it ALL the time!

My water chemistry is way out of whack and I am going for supplies this afternoon. I'm going to add about 10 lbs of baking soda to bring my alkalinity and ph levels closer to being in balance. TA is currently 30 and PH is currently 7.0.

Use 20 Mule Team Borax (laundry aisle at Walmart) to raise the pH. Maybe a third of a box at a time. Retest, redose as needed. Don't add 10 lbs. of baking soda all at one time. A couple of lbs at a time, let it circulate a few hours, retest and redose gradually. Smaller doses are better than one big dose.
