Hello! I’m going to give this method a shot. The pool guy switched us from a SWG to a chlorinator last season and we had no problems. This year, pool was a swamp when we opened, he said put 15lbs shock and then use tabs...poll cleared up for a few days and has had algae ever since. ~ 6weeks...pool store keeps saying chemical lock, we drain, shock, and then algae...I got fed up and then found your site! We just took a long weekend to visit family. I took all tabs out and we drained about 12inches off pool and ordered the Taylor k-2006c kit...
Today, when we got back home, I did my first test.

I have an 18x32 rectangle sport pool that is 5 1/2 feet deep...the pool math app is telling me 3 gallons of 7% bleach to SLAM it....my problem is in Oklahoma, we participate in “smart hours” in the summer...so you can’t run pool pump from 2pm-7pm...not sure if this will mess with my slam...I would like to start tonight, the pool has algae on the floor and walls and is looking turquoise...
Any guidance is appreciated
