10-12 yr old pool, 23000 gal above ground, sand filter, vinyl liner. Fairly new to pools, past three years uneventful. This year having problems keeping FC numbers up. Had switched algaecide (using maintenance dose) and ended up with case of pink algea. Superchlorinated with 6#dichlor, had to add water and added another six. All is gone and still have low FC readings, like 1, but stabilizer now at 300. Took water sample and they also tested for phosphates and found reading of 500. Suggested draining 1/2 pool. I would like to try to get thru to fall (we may go ahead and start from scratch, new liner, etc) Am not necessarily worried about CYA, would like to be able to keep chlorine numbers so we could use until then. Pool tester sent me home with 5# non-chlorine shock and qt of phosphate remover. Any suggestions>
