Re: New User Getting Butt Kicked By Algae
@Watermom: HCl is hydrochloric acid, it's the same as muriatic acid. I think it's being used to lower TA.
@TCP007: Don't let the pH drop below 7, it can damage your pool. If you are trying to reduce TA, you'll need to aerate the pool to bring pH up after adding HCl.
If this were my pool, I would concentrate on killing and removing the algae before trying to adjust TA, 180 is high but livable. The test stips are useless for CYA but if you see alge, you need more bleach. Hopefully the K-2006 arrives today and you can get a good measure of CYA level.
