Well been awhile since I posted. anyways I took cover off pool and found 3 possums and a squirrel at the bottom basically like a soupy mess. anyways I scooped em out what I could put 2 bags of shock in. I had keep the pump running for 2 weeks with a puck in it every few days. Anyways after I shocked it I added 3 pucks over the weekend after I had vacummed out the mess. And dropped some more pucks in Monday night. Tuesday we swam and I noticed a green cloud forming that night. So I shocked it again with 6 gallons of bleach and 2 pucks. CYA is at 60 FC is 13 ALK is 130 PH is 7.2 . Pool is 10,000 gallons Do you think anything the critters left in the the pool is dead now? Hell I just figured shock the pool and a few pucks later and any stuff leftover from animals is dead? IS IT SAFE TO ENTER THE WATER?

As long as you're shocking it to the proper levels (FC 20 ppm with a CYA of 60), then the water is safe to enter. See my post in the thread below...
