Re: Johnny B.'s test numbers, will update on this thread
If you go to the Pool Calculator, enter your pool gallons. Then in the "Now column" you post your current test results, then in the "goal" column you enter your target. So your target would be "2" and your current result is for all purposes 0.
I came up with 164 oz of 6% which is almost and entire biggie jug of the bleach, or 1.7 small jugs.
You'll need several jugs of bleach on hand, if you don't already.
Keep the pump running (24/7 until the water is clear) and pour the bleach slowly
EDIT: in front of the return -END EDIT.
You can retest every 2 to 3 hours. Or more or less frequently, up to you. You may see your water turn greyish as the algae dies off, keep the filter running and it may seem cloudy but eventually it will clear, just keep the FC up and the filter running.
When we know what your CYA is tomorrow you'll be able to bring it to the correct shock level and then it will clear that much faster, because you'll be raising the FC much higher... But for now, just pour in one of those biggie jugs or a little more than one and a half of the small jugs.
You'll have to re-test and then the new result will be your "now" and your target is still 2. Then the calculator will tell how much to add again. So if you have a FC of 1 in a few hours, you'll have to add less bleach then to bring it back to 2.
Hope this makes sense?
Ignore the CYA for now, until tomorrow when you test. Tomorrow put the result in the "now" and your target 30-50 in the goal. You may not need to adjust it at all...
Good luck.
