I finally am trying to break my connection to the local pool store, even though they are really nice people. Pool is 4 yr old vinyl 17200 gallon 16*32 compupool SWG. Anyways this year I have had problems keep the pool clear, and I am tired of the PS telling me to try this each time I come in. So I ordered the Taylor 2006-C and pulled my first test Sat. Here are my numbers
FC 0.0
pH 8.0
TA 170
CH 470
CYA 30

I have my ph down to 7.3 in order to shock/slam. I know my CH is high but so is the water that comes from my tap, so thats something I can't really fix. Last night I started the slam process with 5 gallons of 15% in hopes to reach FC of 24ppm, got FC to 10 and hr later, then I added 2 gallons of 8.25 which got me to 17.5 an hour later. then dumped my last gallon of 8.25 in about 10pm CST last night. I was unable to test FC till 10am today and I was back to 0 FC. This morning I added 6.5 lbs of stabilizer in hoped to bring my CYA up to at least 60ppm and dumped 623 oz of 8.25 as directed by Pool Math. I will grab 10 more gallons of bleach on the way home this afternoon. So since last night at 6 pm I've added 10 gallons of bleach, does this sound like I am track? I did notice when I tested this morning the pool wasn't as cloudy so I guess it is working to kill the algae. Thanks
