    Default Does shocking w/12.5% raise CYA? Help!

    I am only testing with the HTH 6 test strips.
    I will be getting a new kit.

    Here are my readings. As to what the strips say.

    The only thing I have added was 10 gallons of Pool Store Shock @ 12.5% Sodium Hydro/15%Available Chlorine per gal. $2.50 per gal. (Is that the same as bleach?)


    FC 10+
    PH 8.4+
    TA 180
    CYA 80ish

    The water is greenish and cloudy.
    28ft round.
    DE filter w/ pump running 24hrs("Bumping every 2-4 hours)

    I really dont want to drain any of the pool, since I use my well to fill.


    Thanks
    Mike
