Help with balancing pool

Since I added chlorine about an hour ago how soon can I add another cup ?

On a small pool, you can test chlorine levels an hour or so after adding IF the pump has been running.

Ok I just ran another test and my ph is the same and my tc is barely reading so I went ahead an added another dose and I checked my cya but my tube only reads to 30 ppm and that wasn't enough to make the black dot on bottom disappear

[PoolDoc]

Double your dose size.

Sounds like you may have almost no CYA -- when you mixed the CYA test solution and the pool water, did the mix remain almost clear? (You have to let it sit for about a minute.)

Yea i mixed it go 30 seconds but it was clear ok I will add two cups in a few hours

OK, that gives us enough info to go on.

1. Go with a 4 cup (1 quart) dose of bleach this evening.

2. Assuming that you have NO slime, and NO green, tomorrow AM, you can switch to the "Super Simple Recipe" for small pools. Even if you don't follow the recipe, this page will help you with many aspects of managing a small pool.

Ok here is an update . Around 4 yesterday I added a cup muratic acid to get my ph down some more and waited an hour and added the 4 cups of bleach . This morning pool was pretty clear but walls still feel slimy a little . In the morning I ran the test and my cl and br was at 2-4 a my ph at 7.8 so I added a cup of muratic acid . Just did another test and cl is same and ph went down to 7.5. How soon can I add some more acid ? Should I keep on adding bleach also? Would it be a good idea to use the hth clarifier right now or wait ? Is there any other way to get rid of the last of the iron it all just settles to the bottom.
