Thank you sooo much for your reply.. I got the results of the water testing.
My CYA is 20 ppm
PH IS 7.2 ppm
TA is 40 ppm
and chlorine is a Big 0.. i know .. horrible
They estimated my pool to be 26 K gallons of water. He suggested to add 24 pounds of Alkalinity up first .. which I already have since my dear husband bought before he left town.. I need to know if this is accurate and how to introduce it to the pool since I am completely clueless( except of course the stuff I already learned today Also what is the best way for me to shock the pool tonight?? I don't have nothing on hand and have to run buy something..
