Just got back from an out of town business trip and my pool must have been angry that I left it alone.
After numerous Rain days with no attention my pool has decided to go cloudy.
I checked my stats and it looks like my PH is about 7.2-7.4, FC - (not on the charts) TA-80 and CYA-Under 30 but over 0.
I've Triaged and have decided to take the following course of action:
1. I've added a good dose (about 1 cup of Pool Magnet)
2. I'm raising my FC - to 10 (Very slowly, over a few hours) (Raising it with incremental small amounts of pool shock
3. I'm going to let the Chlorine stay at 10 for at least 1-2 hours.
4. I'm going to add Ascorbic Acid - to bring down the Chlorine and hopefully eliminate any chance of Metal(s) impact.
5. I'm going to Vaccuum (hopefully anything dead will get sucked up)
6. I'm going to bring my chlorine up slowly again to 1-2.
7. The constant Fountain during filtering should adjust my PH and Alkalinity'
8. The my chlorine tabs are stabilized so I'm hoping it will adjust my CYA
9. My pool should(will) be Crystal Clear.
I'd welcome any Doctor's opinions and suggestions. This is my first time trying to triage my own pool based on the information I've learned by this site and thread.
What do you think?
