I have to warn you ahead of time I'm using a Leslie's DPD test kit which only gives me "accurate" readings up to 5ppm for FC and CC is a guess based on color change and the CYA test doesn't tell me anything about the CYA below 30ppm.
100,000~ gallons
> 5 FC
< 1 CC
> 5 TC
7.2 PH
60 Alkalinity
190 CH
< 30 CYA
So basically I opened my pool this season at < 10 CYA (maybe even 0). I bought 40 lbs of dichlor and have put about 30lbs of it in the pool already. Doing the math, I should have about 30ppm of CYA in there by now but it's mostly likely around 15ppm.
Right now, my pool is green and a little cloudy. I just poured 10 gallons of 12% bleach into it plus about 3-4 pounds of dichlor. I started at about .5 FC. The sun is basically gone.
My questions:
1. Do I have to reach shock to clear my green pool?
2. If so, should I pour the rest of my 5 gallons of bleach in there or should I be okay with what I've already added?
