Hi! I need some chemical steps. I spoke with HTH and the order they said conflicts with other articles.
1) Our pool finished filling this morning
3) I tested and our alkalinity was very high but pH in normal range
4) I added 4 ounces of Clorox pH down and hour ago and have the filter and aerater on high right now. I will repeat and test ever 2 hours until in range?
5) The gentleman on the phone said the next step would be algaecide but online says that is last? Do it now or at the end? How long do I wait after in either circumstance.
6) I have HTH stain and scale metal out style product... this would be next correct? Put that in and do I then have to wait 24 hours? How long?
7) After 24 hours I shock the pool with a mystery amount of pool shock?
8) then I wait another.... 24 hours? and once it is within 1-4 ppm I add my cholorine floater with .. 1 tablet in it?
9) If I didn't add algaecide before this would be when I add it?
The only other product I have is CLorox chlorine stabilitzer but no idea when or if to use it.
I keep reading an it all sounds different. I need my hand held just a little pretty please!
