Hello everyone!! We opened our pool today and I have several questions and concerns. After running pump for several hours and cleaning debris, gunk etc I tested the water.
Ph 6.8 -7
CH 125
FC 0
TC 0
TA 30
CYA ?? (Have new refill kit ordered)
Our cover is old and several months ago, my son's boxer got inside the fence and fell through cover leaving a big hole(we scrambled to save him, he's good) When we took the cover off, where the hole was, there was I'm assuming green algae but all of it came up when we vacuumed. My problem is the stores we went to were out of chlorine. I have 1 and a half gallon of chlorine from last year and 4 pounds of 75% calcium hypo shock. I'm planning to go to another city tomorrow to find some and pick up some baking soda. Pool math says I also need to add borax to raise ph but have never done so. What should I do today with what I have on hand?
