Re: New Intex above ground owner - Psuedomonas?
Thanks!
Ok, did the Taylor test. I've only measured the FC, CC, PH, and CYA so far.
Filled to 10ml
FC=13 (took 26 drops to clear, it was mostly clear at around 16 drops, but still had pink at the very bottom swirling about, took 26 before I could not see one bit of pink at all.
CC=1(it was actually clear after I added the 5 drops of R-0003, but after SEVERAL seconds it turned a VERY slight pink, I added 2 drops of R-0871 for it to clear. So since it WAS clear for several seconds after adding the R-0003 and swirling before turning a very slight pink, should I have added the R-0871? Does that mean the CC was really 0?
PH- 6.8-7.0? It wasn't quite as dark orange as the 7.0 so that's why I'm guessing it could have been 6.8. I tried the method for high chlorine levels where you add 1/2 cup of distilled water to 1/4 of pool water before testing. Did NOT do the Acid or Base demand test for PH, should I have?
CYA- less than 30. I filled it all the way to the very tippy top of the container before I saw the black dot disappear completely out of sight. So would that make it around 20?
So, where should I go from here? Should I work on getting my CYA a little higher? I'm guessing I should raise my PH a little. If my CC IS 1, do I need to do something about that? and I'm guessing my FC level is good, if not high, should I leave the bleach alone for a while or continue adding in case I do have mustard algae or the Psuedomonas stuff?
