First, great forum! Wish I had found it earlier!
After adding using too much stabilized chlorine for too many years, my CYA was over 250 and algae out of control. I drained the pool and cleaned the walls with 1/3 bleach - 2/3 water, took the DE filter apart and thoroughly cleaned. I think I'm ready to refill. My Taylor test kit should arrive in mail any day. I have a couple of questions:
Anything else I should do before refilling?
I understand the order of adjusting chemicals is:
Add CYA
Adjust PH
Add chlorine
How do I add the chlorine? Do I use the calculator and add however much bleach it says?
Probably there is already a thread on this, but I haven't found it.
Thanks so much!
