Having spent all summer battling algae, I must admit that I immediately put in 2 (96 oz.)60 jugs of bleach but I stopped myself from going further until I checked in here.
The pool is filled with tap water (plus 192 oz. of bleach). I found out from the guys that put in the liner that my pool is 25,000 gallons. I always thought it was 36,000 gallons but they were certain.
The readings before adding the bleach:
FC: 0
CYA: 0
PH: 7.2
TA: 60
CH: 80
Is there a particular order in getting these chemicals in balance? For instance, do I immediately raise my FC before doing anything else or do I add stabilizer first? Or do I add stabilizer at all? I have the link to the pool calculator, I guess I am just looking for guidance regarding which element of the pol chemistry is most important to attack first. Thanks in advance!
