PH levels

[Big Splash]

As Watermom said, baking soda is used to raise alkalinity. It isn't going to help you clear your pool. Do you have a test kit? If not, make the investment.

Btw... I'm in Burlington County, NJ. You?

The kit we recommend is the Taylor K2006 or 2006C (better buy), Won't be able to buy it locally, but can get it through this link:> http://pool9.net/tk/

Thanks guys... And yes I'm in Burlington Cty...

I'm not sure if I still have algae or not? The water looks a lot better this am but I brushed the deep end and it's still has some settlement of something? Do I still have algae?

Yes I have the K2006c based on your suggestion last year.

You've got something growing. You should shock (chlorine consistently at 15ppm) until you have zero CC reading and a clear looking pool.

Beat me to it

I have a 22 x 39 mountain shape so not 100% sure on total gallons. 8 ft deep end I guess 3 ft low end. I've always guessed 27k gal. Sand filter, liner 1 hp SWCG

Head south down Rt130 to Wally World for some bleach. Don't stop at Riverton, if you get to Leisles... you went to far

At 27,000 gal, 407oz (about 3 1/3 jugs) of the 8.25% will add 10FC to get you to shock level. Keep it over 15FC (but not over 20FC) until your CC reading is zero, the pool is clear, and you loose less than 1FC overnight.

I'm just a couple 295 exits south of you

With a CC @ 1, you likely still have something left to kill (algae or otherwise) in the pool. Ideally, you want that number to be zero. A good shock is in order.

Please place in your signature the type, size, and equipment your pool has so we can better help you.
