Janet,

Thanks for the response.

Well, good news. When I went home this morning and test the CL level it was maintained at 17ppm. That tells me the algae is all dead.

My pH had held steady at 7.8 after adding the 4 oz muratic acid, so this morning I added 100ml (that was all I had left in the bottle). When I tested the pH this afternoon the pH is now 7.6.

A side note to the pH thing. When I started the shock and I also notice the pH had jumped from 7.5 to 7.8, I notice a large brownish orange stain had appeared on the bottom of the liner infront of the return jet. I was getting concerned, and started reading and found that the increased pH could cause metal stains to show up. Well, what I notice when the pH went back down to 7.6, the stain is now gone. Again, Praises to the forum for helping me out with this.


We jumped in the pool tonight before I had to head to work. It was AWESOME. I'll do my best to make sure I don't get in this predicament again.


Blessings,
TRHOD
