Hello all, new member here and having some troubles. I can not hold any chlrine in pool. Pool reads 0 chlorine after heavy super chlorination.
I'm pool owner for 3 years never had any problems. 23,000 gallon concrete pool with D.E Filter. Pool is almost 20 years old. All chemicals are at ideal levels via strips and 3 pool store test readings except free chlorine reading 0. Pool water is crystal clear and no one has been in yet this season. I shock with calchypo shock and use dichlor tabs.
Latest test via Leslies. All test were comparable to each other.
FC 0
TC 0
PH 7.6
TA 120
CYA 30
CAl hardness 160
TDS 500
Nitrates 2ppm
Phosphates 300ppm. I put 1 liter of pool perfect with phos free in.
Just got the Taylor 2006 kit. I did a 2 gallon bucket test with 1.5tsp of bleach and its holding well. I haven't done an ammonia test yet but I'm getting ready to buy 12 gallons of liquid chlorine and dump it in. Am I on the right path? from what I read it's ammonia and I have to burn it out.
Thanks
Mark
