Re: Carcass in Pool
Don't try to drain a vinyl liner pool (if that's what you have).
As gross as your discovery is, I'd open like any other. Remove all the debris possible and bring the pool to shock level as per the Best Guess Chart at http://pool9.net/cl-cya/. Use bleach to shock and keep shock level until one day after these three tests are met:
1) The pool is clear
2) The pool loses less than 1 ppm FC between sunset and sunrise (overnight)
3) The pool has almost no CC
Run the filter 24/7, cleaning as necessary
Brush the pool at least every other day - best to do this just after adding bleach.
Test FC and adjust as often as possible at least daily, more often when possible.
If you don't have a Taylor K-2006, you're going to need one. You can't buy it in a store but here's a convenient link http://pool9.net/tk/.
Tell us more about your pool and we'll be able to help you more.
In Ground(IG) or Above(AG), plaster, vinyl, hard or soft side, pump size (HP), filter type and size, how you chlorinate, and what kind of test kit you have now.
As a trial user, you'll need to copy the links, log out of the forum, then paste them into a browser. If you buy through the links, pool forum gets some coin to help keep the lights on.
