    Well Watermom, last night was war! clorine 2.1, ph 7.8, cya 30.......so Added stabilizer, muriatic acid and 1 pack of shock. All things according to pool calculator. I know "shock" is a verb not a noun, but I added diclor. I'll recheck and get back tonight

    Watermom, ok today I'm up to 3.1 ch. 7.4 ph 100 ta, I ran out of my titrant for cya. I will do that tomorrow. Pool Calc said 1 qt. 12% to get to 6 on my ch. level

    Chlorine of 2 or 3ppm won't kill algae. With a CYA of 30, you need to be taking the chlorine up to 15 to be at shock level.

    will just 12% chlorine do it or do I need to start a shock program like a bag a day until its ch.12 or better?

    Ok Watermom, I got the titrant and the cya is so bad I can still see the black dot on my 2006. Looks like maybe 25. pool calculator says about 4 cups stabilizer then chlorine. My chlorine is down to 2.3 I have some bags of shock maybe 2 bags, more stabilizer. BTW how would you add stabilizer? I was told use a sock

    minimum 70% available chlorine
