OK here's my numbers from today
FC- 5.0
TC- 5.0
CC- 0
PH 8.0 (I since have added gallon of acid)
TA 110 (was 40 last week) 15 lbs of baking soda
CYA 40
Numbers look pretty good- but all of a sudden water is cloudy. Seems algea has been putting it's thin layer on bottom and walls.
Here's what I think- my TA was so low last week and my Ph bounced around and stays 8.0+- My low TA makes my ph go up and makes the water cloudy. Pool temp is around 86- full sun all day- so I think my CYA is not protecting my CL levels. I got it up to 5 by adding bleach. I don't really have green water, just a thin coating of slippery algae daily. I am now running my pump 24/7 and brushing daily- also trying to vacuum- can't do deep end very well as it's hard to see down 8 ft real clear.
What now- add more bleach? My test kit only goes to 5.0 so I won't know how high it is.![]()
Am I on the right track. Should I raise my CYA to help out the chlorine?
Oh yeah- 30,000 gal IG vinyl pool. Salt water system.
I hate this- I've always had clear water.
Thanks
