Cool. How much more on 14,700 gallon pool? Also, what other chemicals do I need to pick up while I'm at the store?
I'm going to hold off and do the CYA test tomorrow. Running out of time here sadly and I need to get the Internet up and running.

Yeah, I'm on my phone too. Haven't moved my computer yet.
Should I do that backwash thing now?
When you say put it up to 10...you mean 10 jugs?

No.. 10 fc.. sorry.. youll prolly use 10 jugs in the slam process but not yet

1 jug of bleach should get you up to about 10

Youll need stabilizer, Muratic acid, and bleach for the slam

Oh wait, I found some in the painting department of Walmart. I don't see a % anywhere though. And are you sure about this? Lots of warnings all over the bottle and skulls and crossbones.

Ok, I've got 12 bottles of bleach and one bottle of stabilizer. That correct? I'll check Home Depot for the other thing.

I don't understand pool calculator. I put the size of my pool in there and set my pool info, just it just says add 0 of everything and that my goal isn't set.

Set your targets according to the ABC's levels.. check the link in my sig
FC - Free Chlorine - A sanitizer which keeps your pool water safe and free of germs. Chlorine must be constantly replenished. (level depends on CYA)
PH - Acidity/Alkalinity - Needs to be kept in balance to prevent irritation and protect the pool equipment. (7.5 to 7.8)
TA - Total Alkalinity - Appropriate levels help keep the PH in balance. High levels can cause PH to rise. (60 to 120, sometimes higher)
CH - Calcium Hardness - Appropriate levels help prevent plaster damage. High levels can cause calcium scaling. (220 to 350, vinyl lower)
CYA - Cyanuric Acid - Protects chlorine from sunlight and determines the required FC level. (outdoors 30 to 50, SWG 70 to 80, indoors 0 to 20)

Quick favor.. can you put your pool info in your sig block for quick reference? A lot of us bounce back and forth between posts and get confused on what we are dealing with... Handy reference will help us figure out what we are dealing with... THANKS!!!
Hopefully I did that right.
What should be my goal for today? Am I ready to shock this thing yet?

If you can spend some time reading and re-reading the SLAM process while at work, that will help you out. But the gist is, test your FC level and dose it up to shock level based on your CYA. Repeat as many times per day as is feasible for you. So check your CYA level first thing (so you know what your shock level will be). Then check your FC and pH. As long as pH is 7.2 still, you are ready to start the SLAM. You may need to drain and refill before SLAMming if your CYA is way high but get some numbers first and we'll sort you out after that.
That looks like a fun challenge! I've been waiting on one of my neighbors pools to turn into a green monster so I can help someone do a SLAM!!
