Only a couple of notes/ corrections to B=C's advice:
I'm assuming your pool is a vinyl above-ground with that gallonage. With a vinyl pool a Tot Alk of 180 is FINE--don't worry about it. A hardness of 400 is high, but don't worry about that either until it hits 500ppm.
That's probably me, but I'm sure Ben and some of the other moderators and other long-term posters have said something similar.I don't want to steal this phrase but I don't know who deserves credit - 'Shock is a verb not a noun'.![]()
