Let me start off by a big thank you for everyones help with this.... total clueless, but slowing catching on.
Ok heres what I have to date.
7/27 - started the switch w/ a total of 7 bottles of Bleach, 1 tub of chlorine my sister had and lots of backwashing ( color went very green which I new it would ).
I did the test for chlorine with the shot glass method. But it is a test that you look for color change / yellow and is very hard to make out.just bright YELLOW.
This is the only step that I need some guidence with.
7/28 - Ok I must be doing somthing right, Not to green this morning,can see the steps.
Added 4 Bleaches and brushed & backwashed.
Again tried to test but still stumped..So took sample to pool store for test. Heres what I have: Total Chlorine - 2.5
pH - 7.7
Acid Demand - 2
Total Alkalinity - 100ppm
Calcium - 230
stabilizer - 30 ppm
I ask pool clerk if I was even close to the 15ppm and she didn't understand,
(she said I was in normal range now, like me can't figure out the whole 15ppm) but told me she was sure it would drop so to keep doing what I'm doing.
returned home,pool looked clearer,added 1 chlorine and 3 bleaches & backwashed. I hope it's ok to use liquid chlorine I read it on here it was.Is it ?Pool went a little greener but I do believe it's working !!!!!! I think I got lucky and never really had the goo alot seem to get. Backwash is a light milky white now.
So thats where I'm at. I have this down I just don't want to add to much Bleach and fade a new liner. I did the Bleach calc. and really don't understand it as well,sorry!
On the Pool size I did 15,000, Chlorine strength 6, Quantity of bleach ???? ( here where It looses me , I dont't know how much thats why I'm using it. and the ppm 15. I'm sorry if I sound clueless.
Will add more tonight and backwash before bed and get back to you in the morning. I will get another reading from pool store as well. Thanks again, Don't give up on me....lol!
