What to do first??

[aylad]

Hi all,
We just opened our pool and I am not sure in what order or exactly how to adjust the chemicals I shocked the pool when I opened it last week It was really clear but got a lot of use over the last two days and seemed a little cloudy, here are my readings

22,000 gal ig vinyl liner
87 degrees
cl .5
ph 6.8
ta 40
ch 90
cya 65

that is everything I checked, I dont know if I should check anything else

TIA

Kevin

I would use Borax Washing soda to raise your alk to around 90 and your pH to at least 7.0---anything below that can damage your liner. Also add approximately 6 gallons of plain, unscented ultra bleach to get your chlorine up to shock level. That'll get you started!
