Have learned a lot here but I had a problem yesterday...
I had a cloudy problem a few weeks ago and I shocked with chlorine to about
10+ (I do not use chlorine stabilizer, indoor pool) and after filtering and keeping chlorine at 6-10 ppm for a few days with filter on, it got better. Pool seemed to be a green cloudy water with white threads / looked like lint, observed in pool water. A algae or mold?
I use liquid bleach for chlorine.
Is 6-10 ppm chlorine in a non-stabilized indoor pool really high?
Next,
I purchased the Borax test strips and tested water at 10 ppm or lower.
I have thought that getting the Borax level to 40-50 would be good for algae, and pool staying clear and clean, along with chlorine, and proper water chemistry.
I added 2 cups of 20 Mule Team (indoor pool 3500 gals) and wanted to test the changes....So I have probably a total of 4 cups of borax in 3500 gal pool.
I also added PH acid ( sodium bisulfate to get PH to 7.4 ) after Borax and
the starting high PH of 7.8 from all my shocking.
Problem,
The pool became cloudy and I probably should have not spent time in the pool
at that time and now I am (dry itchy, and skin is pretty red)
What do I need to do for the cloudy water?
What did I mess up on? or miss?
And finally, does rust from some Stainless Steel screws and such need to be removed with a metal out type product?
