    Default Re: Bleach & Vinyl Liner

    One more thing - we filled the pool with house water, that runs through a whole-house filter because we have a high amount of iron in our water and it was frightfully expensive to have the water trucked in! The pool finished filling today and it has a very definite green hue. I know it's not algae because we just filled it from the tap. However, when I checked the chemicals just now, we have extremely high TA - 560! Can that be making the water green?

    CL - 0
    PH - 7.8
    TA - 560
    CYA - 0

    Am just starting to work on the chemicals. Will be adding CYA this afternoon and then chlorine. I did put a gallon of sequestering agent in as it filled due to the high iron content and the fact that it was already looking green at about 1/4 full. I don't really know what to do about that TA reading. Doing some aerating seems like a drop in the bucket with a reading that high.
