    Default Re: New pool new problems

    Im not sure because I threw the bottle away. It was store branded mustard algae treatment. I put in 3 lbs of calcium hypo last nght. waited 1 hr and put in 242oz of 8% bleach and added 11 pucks to chlorinator and skimmer. This morning my pool it very green. Test results 7 am today FC=1, tc=1.5, cc=.5, ph 7.2, alk=120, calc 220, cya <30. also i can tell that the liner is turning brown again, presumably the same staining that i have been fighting for 5 weeks, and it wont brush off. If it will help I can walk thru everystep, procedure, and chemical i have used along with what i was told st the pool store and post the test results from pool store throughout this grueling process.
