My dad bought a farm with two homes and a pool on it and he wanted to know how much it would cost to fill it in (we begged, so it stayed). This is our third year in Upstate NY, opened the pool this year and the filter broke; so now we have a new filter and pump. Think it's 35K gal. with a few inches of new rain on top. Today I tested the water which is cloudy and bluish, visiblity is about a foot.
I am using the HTH 5 way test kit, purchased in the fall:
(which of the chemicals is likely not up to snuff after 8 months?)
Cl =.5 its not any shade of yellow
pH = 7.0 just over min
CYA = less than 30 ppm
TA = 30 ppm
Cal Hardness = 80-90 ppm
No one is swimming in the pool because it's cloudy (in and out)...
But I ask if I might; which deficiency should be corrected first?
I have applied to the Poohbah for a better test kit, not sure if he'll go for it since he's spent over $800 and not had a swim...
Thank you for any help...
