ok, so I am very frustrated and looking to this forum to help me based on all I have read in other posts. We opened up our pool about 3 weeks ago and it was clear just dirt on the bottom. But once we added shock and salt it turned cloudy. It became a pretty blue but has been that way for almost 3 weeks. Last week we went to the pool store and they said we had a chlorine demand so we shocked it with 22lbs of granular shock. Then they said we didn't have any stabilizer so we added 2 jugs of stabilizer. Then they said we needed to use a clarifier. So all that was complete last friday which was 3 days ago. Pool is basically just now getting to the level of clarity it was a week ago before we did the shocking for the chlorine demand. I ordered a test kit but won't get it till Thursday. So I went back to the pool store and here are my readings. Should I do anything or wait for my test kit? I have a pool party in two weeks and need this pool cleared up. Also, since we opened up the pool we have had a lot of rain.
CYA = 45
Total Chlorine = 10
FC = 9.2
PH = 7.5
TA = 95
Adj TA = 81
CH = 199
Salt = 2800
I did the pool calculator but can't calculate the CC until I get my test kit. Should I go ahead and buy the 500 oz of bleach it recommends to get my shock level to 18 based on my CYA?
