Greetings fellow TFPers!
I have a general question, and I'm hoping someone can answer it for me. I'm opening my pool (filling atm) today, and I fully anticipate my CYA to be way too low-- probably will be around 20ish.
I wasted money buying some of these 1lb bags of Clorox Shock Plus that are 58.2% Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione last year, but I'm hopeful that I may have a temporary use for them here while I'm trying to bring my CYA back up to acceptable levels.
I used PoolMath and I found the neat function at the bottom where you can put in an "oz" figure and select a chemical. My question is this: Is the "dichlor" chemical selected from the dropdown box comparable to the 1lb bags I have here? I put in ~16oz roughly for the 1lb bag I'd be adding, and it returned back that for each bag it would roughly raise my CYA by 3 (for a 20,000 gal pool). Can I trust this calculation? If so, would I have any problems using say.. 10 bags of this dichlor in addition to whatever extra bleach I need to maintain my SLAM figures?
Thanks
