Ascorbic Acid Treatment
After reading the sticky several times I decided to try the ascorbic acid treatment to remove some light staining that I had around the edges of my 27 foot AG. I first started by adding Polyquat 60 and when the FC got below 1ppm I added 1.75 pounds of ascorbic acid. The FC stayed at the same value for the rest of the day and the stain remained. I added HEDP at the end of the day. The following morning my staining was gone and my FC was 0. My pool looks like new. I have been adding bleach 3-4 times a day to try to keep my levels it at my best guess minimum, but it's vanishing quickly. It's been 6 days and I have been through roughly 12 gallons of bleach. Can someone give me an idea of how long it takes the affects of the ascorbic acid to stop eating my chlorine?
Also, I purchased a CuLator packet and basically said See You Later to $23, it doesnt appear to be doing anything, no color change to it at all.
My current levels are
FC 2.0
CC 0.5
TC 2.5
Ph 7.4 (I just added some muratic acid to keep it at 7.2)
ALK 80
CH 160
CYA 55
17,500 Gallon above ground, Hayward 150 pound sand filter containing 75 pounds of Zeobright, 1.0 HP pump, Rheem natural gas heater
