Need help with chemicals used in above ground pool!?
Couple days ago, I installed small above ground pool ( 10 feet in diametar), which holds about 1200 Gallons of water. I went to the speciallized store for pools and ask them what checimals I should use. They told me to use only “Poolife” Rapid Schock, schock treatment. Couple hours after I put Rapid Schock into my pool I checked with test strip and got following results:
FCl (free chlorine bromine) – 0 ppm, (1-3 is normal for chlorine and 3-6 for bromine).
Alk(alkanity)- 80-120 ppm, (which is ok)
pH- 8.4, normal is 7.2 – 7.6
There is a following note next to the pH chart: “8.4 indicates excesive sanitizer”.
I’m really confused and do not know what to do? Please help!!!
