    Can't tell you how much chlorine to add without knowing how many gallons your pool holds.....

    Good readings for an AG pool:
    FC 3-6
    TC 3-6
    CC 0
    CYA 30-40
    Ph 7.4-7.6 (but anywhere 7.2-7.8 is OK)
    Alk 80-125
    Calcium Hardness - not needed in vinyl pool

    Hope this helps. Keep reading the forum and if you haven't already done so, go and read at the sister site www.poolsolutions.com You will learn a lot.

    If you have an 18x33 oval 4 feet deep, your volume would be APROX 15,500 gallons (actually 15,692). But that's assuming your WATER is 4 feet deep. If it's actually 3' 6" deep, you have 13,750gal, approx. (use 14,000 gallons in your estimates) If it's 3' 9", you have 14700 gal, aprox.(use 14,500 or 15,000 gallons in your estimates).
