21,000 gallons inground. cl 5.0 ph 6.8 cya 50 ta 150
i had posted in the alage section problems encountered
had been keeping pool to shock to rid the green, green now gone
then had problem with brown stains
added 2 quarts of pool magnet plus for metals
has helped with the stains but some still there
haven't added bleach since last night
questions now: do i add my gallon of bleach now to maintain cl levels?
do i add ph increaser now too and if so same time as bleach?
do i add any more pool magnet plus for the remaining
stains now too and if so can it be added same time too?

I need to know the steps on how to continue and with what?
please help advise me so i know what is next and not screw up the progress i have made thus far. thank you.

You need to get your pH up! TA looks plenty high, so I would suggest adding a box of borax and then re-checking the pH after an hour or two. You will probably need to keep your cl up for a while longer, but right now, it's important to raise ph to 7.2-7.6. You chlorine will work better, too. All that said, there are folks that know a lot more about this on this site... they'll chime in to help you!

new problem, its beginning to get cloudy! what do i need to do to fix this? please give me some advise. I need help!

Relax... be patient w/ the process and it will eventually clear when you get pH in the right range and then keep the cl up to shock level until everything finally clears up.

ph 7.2-7.6 is your target!

hopefully some other folks will add some suggestions. I think your metals problem is related to your ph and shock level too, but I don't have the knowledge to help you.

i think you are right but i don't know enough either and i don't want to do anything to screw it up. i really do appreciate you answering and trying to help me and i too hope that someone will answer that does know so i can get on this before it gets worse. so for now all i can do is wait and hope that one of them will answer and tell me what to do before the problem gets worse. thanks
