Well guys I'm from Australia so summer has just finished pool was uncovered and let run free close enough to zero chlorine.

Now I have ordered a floatron and a dosing pump to automatically dose chlorine.

So from what I have learnt
My pool is 900gal I can get my liquid pool chlorine for $1.10l or $4 a gal for u yanks its 15% (I think) I need approx 700ml per day.

I will shock the pool with about 10lb of chlorine in powder form and then use a flocklant to get stuff out from bottom.

I also have to walk pool with prawn scoop to get all leaves and other Crud out.

Have you read this post? http://www.troublefreepool.com/turning-your-green-swamp-back-into-a-sparkling-oasis-t4147.html It is a great place to start.

That seem awfully small. That would be only 3400 liters? More like a hot tub than a pool.

Make sure you read the article I linked to above, the approach you detailed here is not how we recommend clearing a pool.
