On the Pool Math site where it gives suggested FC levels based on your specs, you are to use the recommended "shock level" or "Mustard Algae Shock" level since my pool is green with algae now? When you wrote "24" I assume is "Shock Level" but just want to be sure. This is what it says for...

It says recommended levels for my pool the pH s/b btw 7.5 and 7.8. I put in 7.6 as goal and added 11 oz of MA. Is this not correct? - - - Updated - - - Ok I see it on the "Turning your Green Swamp" back post says 7.2 to 7.4, so will redo at 7.4 as suggested. Thanks for keeping an eye on me :).

Today's specs: FC = 9 CC = 0 pH = 7.9 TA = 9 CH = 160 CYA = 60 Pool is still green. It had lightened up a bit 2 days ago, but now seems greener.

FC = 22 ppm CC = 1 ppm pH = > 8.0 TH = not sure what this is CH = 160 ppm CYA = after draining pool, I got it down to read 80 ppm, I ran out of reagent R-0013 except for a small amount. I just now used it adjusting pool water to same amount and reading was 60 ppm, so not sure how accurate that is.

The book that came with the kit. page 18 under "Note:" Highlihted "Total amount of acid given from the tables must be applied over time to avoid low pH. Initially add 50%, 25%, 15% and then the final 10%, waiting 24 hours between each addition." I really have very little idea what I'm doing...

I have Taylor 2006 test kit and trying to clean up a poor maintained green pool. I needed to add MA and the book says to add over several days, with 50%, 25% and 15%. I didn't do this as I read it afterwards. I poured 5 3/4 cups in all at once slowly. Will this cause any problems?
