Just took over my pool and it was crystal blue..i just admired it not knowing immediate care was needed since it looked so great...low and behold, green algae, a thin layer all over....commence the shock...had some chemicals left over to me so i muriatic acid raised my ph and dropped 4 bags of shock. Then cleaned my cartridge filter and everything looks great again..These are my latest numbers one week after algae free. Not really interested in draining my pool to lower cya...not even sure how to drain it. Got a floater with 4 hockey pucks. Where do I go from here...Pool calculator says add 800+ oz of bleach...just pour it in and recheck every week and keep adding bleach..is that it?????
I got the test kit from here (TFP test)
