Thank you Watermom!! I've been using granulated Calcium Hypochlorite hydrated oxidizer to shock. It says it's 73% calc hypo and 27% Other. The chlorine tabs are 99% Trichloroethane-s-triazinetrione and 1% Other. Available chlorine is 90% in the 3" tabs.
Currently the chlorine is at a 2 and ph 7.5. I added about 50 oz of the 8.25% bleach last night and my last three chlorine tabs. I plan to buy the CYA Powder and cal-hypo today and will test again this evening. How should I add the 2lbs of cya? Broadcast it or put it in the skimmer? Also, is there a clever way to hang the sock over the ledge and return jet? Stocking holder maybe?
My water looks beautiful and clear today. I think it's the bleach I'm adding daily. There's not any visible algea but a slimy feeling in the stair crevices. I think I'll try to shock with the bleach after I add the cya and hypo calc. Will report back after testing tonight
You guys are Awesome!
