So based on the shock procedure, i am supposed to hit a FC of 28, am I reading that correctly? I guess I need some more bleach about 6 gallons or so? How is that going to affect the CYA, PH, and TA?

Thanks All, that is what I was thinking but needed to hear it from someone else. I do have a Taylor K 2006 test kit. :hammer:

My wife is not happy with the cloudy water and let's me know daily! A little background: went on vacation for a week and had a friend watch the pool, when we got home it looked as bad as it ever has, green pond looking. Dumped bleach in and it began to clear up. Now I am 2 weeks in and here are...

I have kept it at or near the shock level and it appears to be clearing up. I will keep putting the bleach in and brushing. Can someone give me a clue what the bleach does to the CH, TA, CYA and then does baking soda affect anything except TA? And Finally what does Borax do to FC,TA,CH, PH? I...

Thanks for the responses, dumped some shock and bleach in the pool and will let in run and check in the morning. I was at 12ppm this evening and brushed it and there appeared to be greenish dust in the bottom which I am assuming is algae. Should I go to Superchrlorinate for 24 hours and is it...

I am hoping I can leave the water in the pool and set the timer to run 4 hours or so and have the controller set to run the pump if the outside temp gets to 35. Good idea or bad? In Arkansas so it won't get really cold for a couple of months so what tips do you guys have?? Chemicals etc.?

Thanks for the quick reply, I actually bought 2 buckets of CYA today and was a little leary about adding it since I really have no idea what I am doing. I have been reading the pool school and I have purchased a test kit as well. I guess I can use a pool calculator and determine how much bleach...
