The pool is 15 years old with original plaster. The pool surface is rough and needs to be resurfaced, but cannot afford.
For more than a 5 weeks my pool has had ZERO chlorine (both free and and total available). Over this period, I have shocked repeatedly. Last week I drained 2 ft of water and added 2 lbs of crushed chlorine tablet (AKA Spot-kill). Yesterday (June 7) iI again added 2 lbs of crushed chlorine tablet.
My water analysis results from today (June
:Free available chlorine (FAC) ---- zero
Total available chlorine (TAC) -- zero
Calcium hardness ------------------ 260
Cyanuric Acid (CYA) -------------- 115
Total Alkalinity -------------------- 150
pH ----------------------------------- 7.4
Copper ------------------------------ zero
Total dissolved solids ------------- 1000
Phosphates ------------------------- 200
At this time, two different pool stores have stated the only option is to drain water.
Since doing this last week was unsuccessful, I have no interest in repeating this failed action.
Please provide your insight.
At this time I am strong considering swimming pool removal as a better options than resurfacing.
