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.

Re: Little green on stairs
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?
13000 gallon fiberglass, variable speed pump, cartridge filter, chlorine sanitized ,k-2006, also daily 5 item check ( ch, ph,ta,)
I only trust the k-2006 titration is better for me
Re: Little green on stairs
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

Re: Little green on stairs
What are the ingredients on the bags of shock?
Re: Little green on stairs
BTW how long does it take for granular stabilizer to show a difference. I cannot even tell if I have any

Re: Little green on stairs
calcium hypochlorite 73%
other ingredients 27%
minimum 70% available chlorine
If you think I need another type I will get it

Re: Little green on stairs
If your CYA is less than 30, it won't be detected.
How much total CYA have you added to the pool?
Have you used any dichlor shock or any trichlor tabs?
Re: Little green on stairs
Total as of yesterday 4 cups granular stabilizer, have not used dichlor nor trichlor. I have in the past and can get more pronto
The shock I used before is Trichloro-s-trianzinetrione 67%
other ingredients 33%
total100%
Available Chlorine 60.3%
as I have a fiberglass pool does it matter which one? or is the Trichloro better?
