Last year I got pool stored when I bought a house with a pool. The previous owners were morons, and their answer to everything was "Shock it!" I inherited a really bad acid vat full of algae, and the only thing I knew to do was go to the pool store for help.
I've learned a lot since then, thanks to this site.
Now, I have a practically brand new pool. I replaced the liner a month ago, I replaced the sand filter this spring as well since the old sand filter was sealed shut and was spitting sand back into the pool. I've completely rewired and replumbed, and a new pump is now in transit. The only thing left on my pool that is original equipment is the metal wall itself.
My numbers for my 24' x 52" AGP (approx 12,600 gallons) are excellent.
Temp = 82° - 87° depending on how sunny the day is
TC = 4.5
FC = 4.5
TA = 120
PH = 7.8 and very steady
CYA = 40
SALT = 1200ish
New vinyl liner so I don't bother testing for calcium hardness.
The water looks very clean and clear under sunlight, but you can see a lot of particulate matter in the water at night with the pool light. I'd like to clear that up if at all possible.
I still have some Leslie's "Ultra Bright" left over from my pool store experience last year. Should I use this stuff to help clear up the water?
