    Default Metal in the water (Fiberglass 35K pool)

    Hello,

    I think that I finally figured out that I have a metal stain in the pool.
    I took one little Vitamin C and droped it on the stain, in about 20 seconds I could see a white spot around it. (See Pic before/After)

    Now if someone could tell me how much of Vitamin C powder do I need to treat a 35000 Gallons fiberglass pool.

    My pool was green a week ago because I went on vacation and nobody took care of it.

    After I returned I tried to shock it.

    For the last 3 days water was at around 12-13 PPM every night, but during the day it would drop to 5PPM so I would add more chlorine at around 6 PM.

    My problem is that I don't have anyone to test it 3 times a day.

    My current numbers are:
    PS233 kit

    FC 9PPM
    (was 15PPM before I went to sleep, 12PPM when I woke up, I added 3 QT of bleach and now it is at 9PPM) Temp is 77*F Pool was open for the whole day with the sun.
    So:

    FC 9PPM
    CC .5 (maybe less)
    PH 7.2
    ALK 80-90
    CAL 120-130
    CYA 20-25?

    Please help.
    Thank you,
    B.
