First I want to thank everyone and the BBB method for helping me out this open season. I have been reading this forum all winter so I was prepaired 2 weeks ago when I opened up my pool to find a green swamp. With your help and a heck of a lot of Bleach I have gotten rid of the alge. The chlorine count has stayed the same for several days in a row, now I am letting it drop to below shock levels. I am using the Pool Calculator and would like your advise on what my target figures should be so I can make a final adjustment. I do still have some cloudy water but I am using a knee high in my skimmer basket and it is helping the filter clean the water, its getting clearer...slowley. Here are my numbers:
PH 7.7
Alk. 110 ppm
Calc. Hardness 70 ppm
Total Solids 700ppm
CYA 35 ppm
Free Chlorine 3.4 ppm
Total Chlorine 3.6 ppm
Combined .2 ppm
I have an AGP 23,000 Gal. Vinyl liner using liq. chlorine Bleach
