Ahh well honestly its kind of funny. So I didn't use nearly all the chlorine I thought I would, but it should be enough for the rest of the summer. The last post I made I mentioned needing to buy CYA. Well American Sale had it slightly cheaper than at Home Depot, so I had my kid go pick some up...

Haha thanks, I wasn't screwing around! I needed to get this fixed before my vacation from work ended, which was yesterday. Nick'o time. I just keep vacuuming and slamming non stop for two days.

Thanks for all the help guys :D

Oh i thought 12 hours was a long time. Well I put 7.5 pounds of CYA in two big socks today infront of the return. Will start shocking tomorrow night I suppose.

I got my test kit today. my cya is at zero. i was at the pool store today (before they closed, but also before i got the test kit in the mail) and bought 16 gallons of 12.5 liquid chlorine for 2.50 a gallon. I have to buy 15 pounds of CYA in the morning. I already got all the leaves and gunk...

Hmm that was the cheapest price I could find around here. Also if I'm doing my shock algea treatment at night do I have to even worry about CYA? I plan on cleaning up the pool over the course of 12 hours from 8pm to 8am

If I am doing all the cleaning over the course of a very long night, starting now and working till like 8am, so 12 hours. do i still need to worry about CYA levels?

Oh ok, so I don't have to wait a whole week then? If so that's fantastic. Though I wonder how long it will take to dissolve 7.5 pounds of CYA. That said I do have like a pound of CYA, would it be a waste to start using it tonight and get the rest tomorrow?

Oh ya, thats way to expensive, I would need 3.5 gallons. And I already thought spending 45 dollars on conditioner would be too much as is.So there is nothing else I can do besides wait it out? Is 15 dollars for 3lb an average deal?

my CYA is zero, the mixture is completely clear and when filling the tube I can go to the top easily and still see the black dot. That said what is a way to raise my CYA without waiting a week? Is there ANYTHING I can do at all? Also what CYA should I be shooting for if I have a small algae...

How this? http://www.americansale.com/Products/Malibu-Liquid-Chlorine-Pool-Shock__015769.aspx

Well I already opened it, the cover is honestly shot. It has hundreds of tiny holes in it, not sure from what and I think it is a cause of a lot of the problem. There is a bit of debris in the pool, but it shouldn't take but a few hours to clean. The pool is 30,000 Gallon, Above Ground, Vinyl...

Hey guys, first time poster here. Looks like a great place to get a lot of help. I read the Defeating Algae and the SLAM - Shock Level And Maintain guides. I also just purchased a TF-100 with the XL option and Borate Strips - used the UPS option so I hope it comes here soon. Here is the skinny...
