Aqua green pool

[bjlind]

CL very orange almost brown( I did try a 25 part test and it was about 75 ppm)
Ph 7.8

Water is blue but still cloudy

This is 12 hours after second 8 gallon dose.

[PoolDoc]

Don't add any more chlorine. Let it drop.

Don't add any clarifier, till it's below 20 ppm.

What is your stabilizer level?

[bjlind]

What would I want to add as an clarifier?

My stabilizer level is cya 110 ppm( I hope that is what you are asking)

Chlorine is still very dark orange oto
pH is 7.2

[PoolDoc]

OK, so you've got two readings of CYA = ~110?

But, your pool is clearing up? OTO orange is usually 15 - 35 ppm, so that's appropriate. With CYA > 100 ppm, it's not only safe, it would be comfortable for swimming.

The HTH 6 way only did two CYA test. I tested the CYA when I got the test kit before I started to add bleach. I did test again before I added the first 8 gals account you but that in red in your instructions. The first was 120 and the second 4 days ago was 110.(new test kit shipped today) The pool is getting very clear. I just jumped in and the chlorine was a little hard on the eyes but not bad. Thanks for all the help again!! How would you sudjest I maintain the pool going forward?

[PoolDoc]

You'll need a Taylor K2006, in order to maintain appropriate chlorine levels for a pool with CYA that high. Otherwise, just follow the Best Guess Chart, and keep your pH in range, and you should be fine.

I would like to thank all of you again for the great help.

I received the Taylor k-2006c yersterday and here are all the test results.

FC 26 ppm
CC .5 ppm
pH 7.6
TA 140
CH 200
CYA 90

It has been raining for the last two days and Issac has added about 4" of water to the pool which I think helped bring down the CYA. I have quit using the inline chlorinator with the 3" tabs. I plan on using it again if we are to go out of town or if I need to bring up the CYA. One thing I should mention is that the water is very clear even after all of the rain. I do have a few more question for you if you get a chance.

(1) Do you know of a good pool volume cal? I have used several on the internet and all are giving me differant answers. I have a 27' round AG pool and the actual water depth is 49"

(2) What are the ideal levels for all test on my pool? Mainly the TA, pH, and the Ch. I think the best guess chart takes care of the rest!

Thanks again for all of the help! You have made be a believer!!!
