Ok guys- I have now got a pretty clear pool since I have been shocking for mustard algae. The fc level is over 20 and from what the Pool School says I need to keep it that way for 24 hours. I am in my first 4 hours of the mustard algae level shock program. My question is- what do I do about...

O wow- I hadn't thought of that. We have just had a lot of rain- but I don't see too many leaves in there right now. Just tested after my husband added the cyanuric acid. Free Chlorine-0 ph-7.5-7.8 alkalinity- 180-240 CYA-0 So what do I need to do now? Add Chlorine? Sure do appreciate the help! Susi

Thanks so much!on my way to by Muriatic Acid. By the way- it is not cloudy at all. Figure that out! Susi

Thanks- I am working on it!

Thank you so much! Yes- my CYA was over 300. My husband put two gallons of the liquid pool shock in it and now it is down between the 30-50 range. We are draining the pool right now- do not have the sand filter, so would you think we still need to empty half of it? Thanks so much again!

Hi guys- I surely do hope you can help me. I have a 15' x48" above the ground pool that has been wonderful. I have been gone a week and when I returned home it had what looked like a yellowish brown stain in various parts on the bottom. I had my husband put 2 gallons of the liquid shock in this...
