Alright... Aqua smart cartridge will be removed, and conditioner will be added as soon as pool level is high enough to turn pump on. then test kit will be in and we will go from there! Thanks for all the help! Richard, i looked through pool school and could find nothing on MPS? So what is the Blast then? I mean what is MPS shock?
Filling pool as we speak, now what?

MPS is a non-chlorine oxidizer (shock). I'm sure there is some use for it but I can't figure out what. You don't need it now at any rate.
Like I said in my first reply here, you don't have to wait to suspend the CYA in the pool, and if you place it in the hose stream, it will dissolve faster than just hanging there. They key is to not have it sitting in one spot with no water flow past it. You want to disperse it as it dissolves, and it can take several days to do it. Ignore the directions on the package - it won't predissolve.Jfoeller0103 said:
Monopersulfate shock is a non-chlorine oxidizer - think chemical flame. It burns things up. Sunscreen, snot, dead skin cells, all of that stuff needs to be oxidized. Bleach is also an oxidizer, with the added benefit of being a great sanitizer. Two for one. You'll probably never need that Blast stuff, but as long as the package stays sealed, it will last for years. Hang on to it, someday you might run across someone with a Bromine spa, and they can use it.
Sorry I must've skipped over the first post Richard! I am going to use the pool calculator and see how much CYA needs to be added and will put it in a sock and hang in front of the hoses... Ill post my first readings later on in the week!
