I am new to maintenance of pools and am having a little trouble. The pool was green when the cover came off so I shock with a lot of Calcium Hypochlorite. The pool then turned to a cloud. Started to read this forum and realized I probably would need some floculent. Well this took care of the cloudiness but after several vacumns to waste there still seems to be a cloud only in the deep end of the pool so I decided to get tested.


FC .2
TC .2
CC 0
PH 7.4
Alkalinity 20ppm
Cyanuric Acid 20ppm


I have 26,000 gal in ground w/vinyl liner at 72 degrees. They recommend this:


5 pounds of dry shock-Calcium Hypochlorite

36 pounds of Alkalinity plus

4 pounds of Stabalizer

Does this sound about right or do I need to take another approach? Thanks in advance.
