Ok. So do we need bleach and chlorine as I thought the bleach WAS the chlorine..??

You say adding chlorine over the next few days but how do you know how much chlorine/bleach to add each day??

We couldn't find muiatic acid so we bought "pH minus balancer". Is this ok? Do we add this once the algae is dead/water cloudy or with the chlorine?

I guess maybe we need a more step by step procedure???

Trying to figure out how often to test and add stuff...

Thank you for replying and I look forward to another response if you can help us further!

Chlorine=Bleach....Add the 2 gallons around sunset... and take a reading about an hour later...as for how much you add each day...best guess for that size pool would be a gallon every 3 days once you get the algae under control...plus you might want to bring for CYA up to about 60 in order to conserve bleach usage. And like the previous post...be sure you are not inheriting a bacquacil pool.
