Have had a pool for years. Mostly had someone taking care of it-now the job is up to me.

Just got my K-2006 Taylor test kit. I live in Arizona and any help from you would be greatly appreciated.

My pool is an irregular shape about 13K gallons. The entire perimeter of the pool is scalloped so no one has been able to tell me exactly how many gallons. I have a Jandy VS FloPro Variable Speed Pump and sand filter if that makes a difference.

A few days before getting the test kit. I used about 22 oz muriatic acid. Which I’m guessing made the PH much too low.


I also poured in at least a gallon of Clorax (maybe more but can’t remember at this point) to kill algae I’ve been fighting with.

My pool stayed and still remains cloudy and a light green. So then I added about 5 lbs of Chlorbright granules with Algae control. 5 Clorax XtraBlue tabs. 3 in the floater and 2 in the skimmer.


Test results:

+ FC = 6.0 - Would like it to be 4.
+ pH <7.0 (ust added 4 lbs of Soda Ash to correct it.)
+ CYA = 250-300 CYA . . . I’m guessing.
[ It didn’t register on the test. Didn’t even reach the 100 mark. This has me very worried. How’d it get so high?! ]


Thanks in advance!
