Need help with chemicals

[eckardsl]

Check out the below url. This lists the pool chemicals you can buy at a grocery store. You need to get the ph right before anything else in my opinion, otherwise your chlorine will disappear in a hurry. 20 muleteam borax can lower your ph.
I would keep my pump running continuously while I brush, backwash. Preceed this with a good dose of "poly60". You can get this at walmart. It is the only thing to combat mustard algae which you might have. This below link is only one tip of the ten. Check it out and good luck!

Ugh.

So I had pool guys out two weeks ago to fix leak in the pool...$515. They repaired two pipes on the filter and patched one other pipe they said was sucking air. We went away for a vacation and came back to water levels that dropped about 7 inches. Looks like I can't do anything with the chemicals until I get the leak fixed. They did die test and pressure test on both of the skimmer lines and found no leak there.

No way to run filter = no way to clean up pool. Double Ugh!
