Hi, I opened my pool two years ago and after a lot of chlorine after chlorine last year we weren't able to make it clear. This year we opened it and again chlorine after chlorine nothing happened. Earlier this month and i found this website after putting algecide and no change in greenness. So on this website I saw the best way was to shock it. My size is about 36' x18' and 7' on the deepest side. So yesterday I put around 23 pounds of shock: this kind: PoolBrand Quick Dissolving Shock - 1 lb. - 24 ct. - Sam's Club and today the pool has changed from dark green to light green. I saw that the sides had algae on them so i scrubbed it with a brush and now it is a little more greener. So we went to the pool store and they gave the following readings:
FAC: 5.0
PH: 7.5
Alkanity: too much chlorine to figure out
CYA: 40
CH: 110
Phosphate: 0
and they said we need firstly the Hardness to 200 so you need 25lb of that and clarifier after a few days. The pool is light green now so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
