Non-chlorine Shock ? Pool store said I needed it.

[scarywoody]

Went to get the ole water tested.

FC: 14 (shocked a couple days ago
CC: 0.4
PH: 7.1
CYA: 39
Alk: 110
CaL HRD: 228

Pool is still cloudy, but anyway The pool store guy said I needed 2lbs os non chlorine shock. I thought the point of shoc was to add chlorine. It said it will remove chloramines. Is this legit?....they were 4.99 per lb. I didn't buy any and wanted to run it by the experts here.

With low CC, you likely don't have chloramines to get rid of. Patience may be all you need.

Run your pump 24/7.

I agree with Watermom and JohnT--You killed the algae by shocking, now you have to run your filter to get it out. Backwash as needed....but don't buy the non-chlorine shock. If you need to shock it again (and I don't think you do),use bleach.
