Well, I thought I might have gotten all of the algae, but from my readings today maybe not? Can someone tell me what they think and what my next step should be?
9am reading:
FC: 18.5
CC: 0
pH: 8.0
Did a backwash and ran the Rover pool vac continuously throughout the day.
3pm did another backwash.
6pm reading:
FC: 7.5! (Isn't that quite a drop? Especially since the weather is cloudy and rainy?)
CC: 0 (which kind of had me confused. Doesn't CC mean something is growing?)
pH: 7.4
Added 2 (182 oz. jugs) of 6% bleach, per the pool calculator's calculations to raise FC back up to 15.
8pm
FC: 16.5
CC: .5
pH: 8.2
Guess I'll see how much it drops overnight, correct? As that will tell me if I'm losing chlorine to something growing or the UV from the sun? Is that correct thinking? The water is a very "pretty" (as opposed to primordial soup green) milky, bluish color. I cannot see the bottom yet. At some point should I stop the filter to let the suspended stuff settle so it can be vacuumed to waste? Sorry for all of the posts. I feel like I am so close, but if I don't keep on top of it or do what needs to be done next, then I will lose control of it again. And I really don't want all of my $$ and time going to waste again. Thank you for any replies.
