Hi - I'm having hard time trying to avoid following Leslie's Pool's advice so want to shock newly opened pool that is clear and sparkling but has cc issue.
Pool is 26000 gal. In-ground, vinyl liner with cartridge filter.
FC is about 1.5
TC is 5.0 (according to Leslie's)
PH is 7.6
CYA is low at 10
CH is 100 (which should be ok for vinyl)
Even though pool looks great and has no odor, it seems I still need to shock. I have 2 types of shock on hand; lithium hypo and cal-hypo. I've already screwed up by not putting enough lithium hypo in all at once (did it over 2 days). So now I need get it right. Can I assume that using the Cal-Hypo might be the way to go considering the low calcium, and then use lithium to shock the remainder of the season? (CYA is low but that will come up once we get the tri-chlor pucks in the auto feeder; I just want to fix the CC issue first)
Tks!
