    Just did a no drain acid wash.. What should I attack first?

    When I first tested it the Ph was above 8.2... Would that have turned the pool green? I shocked the pool last night and it cleated it up. Or could be cause I had no Cya in the pool?

    So I used PUCKS this winter

    I guess I will pull the pucks and start adding bleach. Is there a formula for the amount of bleach per size of pool? Going to wait to turn the salt cell back on and add salt until spring break.
