It is not only ok, it is the correct way to shock a pool with a chlorine generator since if you rely on the generator the chlorine level rises too slowly and creates another set of problem.Beez said:Sorry, dude, that was just a little SWG "dig"...Claughaun said:

Based on the change in salt level you replaced around 10% of the water, and that would have reduced CYA by about 10% as well, from "over 100" to, well, still over 100. Try diluting your pool water sample 1:1 with tap water, and run the CYA test on the diluted sample (double the reading). That will give you a better idea how much water you'll need to replace.Claughaun said:

Well my TA and CYA are below 80. My salt - which was down to 2500 before I added a 40lb bag - is now at 2300 ( go figure). I'll be adding another 40lbs shortly... then I'm ready to add 1,000 lbs of Borax and 500 gals of Hydrochloric acid...

I got the Salt back up to 2800... bought out the local 20 mule team Borax supply - all 9 boxes at 3 stores... added 1 1/4 gals of acid and 4 boxes of Borax... brushed like crazy (some of the Borax was in lumps)... added a further 1 1/4 gal of acid and another 4 boxes of Borax... repeated the brushing. The Ph was down to 7.2 so I aereated it for a while. I'll retest the CA and CYA after 48 hours... water like a jewel... shangri-la...
The final result is amazing. The kids think it's a bigger pool because they can see further underwater. The water sparkles.
