new to pools. pool guy has me confused

[CarlD]

ok I have some info I can provide. the pool is 15,000 gallons. we used htc algae guard 3x concentrate. listed is alkyl 15% alkyl 15% inert ingrediants 70%

the chlorinating granules are 47.6% calcium hypo and 52% other. per you stated these are bad and we will not use these anymore

the tablets are 99.7% trichloro s triazinetrione

Ok, you'll need to re-run the test numbers with the HTH 6-way drop kit, if you have it.

ASSUMING your numbers are correct (and that's an assumption), you should NOT use the Cal-Hypo powder anymore because it keeps raising your calcium level, and 400 is the upper limit.
Do not use the "Algae Guard"--it will only make a bigger mess.

One jug (121 ounces) of Clorox 8.25% bleach will add 5.2ppm of chlorine to your pool. A pound of Di-Chlor powder will about 4.8ppm of chlorine to your pool, and about 4.3ppm of CYA/stabilizer.
