    Default Re: Safe shock PPM - vinyl pool

    Yes, the pump is running 24/7.

    27,000 gallons. Have only used baking soda to bring up the alk, 1 quart of polyquat, and 10% bleach.
    I did try a dosage of HTH clarifier that I had left over, no real effect.

    Oh yeah, the pool store that opened my pool dumped in a dose of "Algecide"(which I can only asssume was copper based) and "PhosFree", it seems they didn't understand my instructions to not add any chemicals to the pool. The idiots added all of this including a case of liquid shock with the pump turned off, I had them open it so they could fix some PCV pipe so the system could not be turned on for 4 hours after they left.

    Current readings:
    Chlorine - 8.6
    CC - 0.2
    Ph - 7.4
    Alk - 120
    Cal - 90
    CYA - 0 (at least under test range)
    Salt - 2500 (SWG)
    Temp - 70

    Readings done with a Taylor K-2006, salt based on SWG digital readout (waiting for bens kit to arrive).
