Help with balancing pool

[Dohcvtec]

How about the acid how often can it be added to bring the ph and ta down

[PoolDoc]

Again, you can add it as often as you like, so long as it has mixed. If you pour it in front of the return (where water re-enters the pool) you can probably add every hour.

Ok thanks pooldoc . What level should I keep the cl level since walls still feel slimy

[PoolDoc]

I can only guess, until you have CYA test results from the K2006 or the HTH 6-way (info on both on the SS recipe page), but for now if you get a cheap OTO / phenol red kit, a DARK yellow chlorine result should be OK -- that above what the test block will show, but around 5 - 10 ppm.

Well I have the 6 way from hth and I just did the cya test but again tube only goes to 30 and that wasn't enough to make the black dot on bottom disappear

[PoolDoc]

That means you have a CYA level of less than 30 ppm. IF solution was completely clear, it means you have a CYA level of less than 10 ppm

[Dohcvtec]

Solution was a little cloudy . Do I need to do something about that? Also on the 6 way test kit for the cl and ph test do you have to let it sit for a while in the test tubes to read or can you read it as soon as you add the drips and mix . Also pool is clear but has a little green shade to it what could that be and how could I get rid of it
