Go ahead and get some bleach in there before the pool turns green. Then, you can add a little muriatic acid to drop the pH some.
Thank you for the vacation advice. I followed it and just returned home to a crystal clear pool that needs to be vacuumed. However, my house sitter didn't put in any bleach for the past 2 days and the Aqua Smarte pack ran out, so my chlorine reading is way down for the first time this weekThe Taylor K-2006 kit came while I was gone, so I ran the tests this afternoon and this is what I got:
FC=.6ppm
CC=0ppm
pH=8.0 (5 drops of R0005 brought the sample to 7.4)
TA=240ppm
Calcium=270ppm
CYA= <30ppm (I had to fill the tube all the way to the top to make the black dot disappear and there is no number up that far)
I am ready to get this pool balanced and swim! Any help would be greatly appreciated -- i.e.: what to worry about first? chlorine? pH?
Thanks,
Ashley
