Re: Tough Algae even with high chlorine
I ordered the 1515 kit.
Added 5 gallons of Buckman's liquid shock with 12.5% sodium hypochlorde at 6:00pm then brushed it thoroughly. To be safe I added another 3 gallons of same shock and pump has been circulating overnight.
This morning at 7:00 tested chlorine the color is off the chart purple so using the instructions on the kit first diluted 1:1 pool water and tap water still color was off the chart so diluted 1:4 (1.8 ml pool water and filled with tap after up to 9ml) the color is between 3 and 5 so multiplying lets say 4 by 5 the chlorine is around 20ppm.
It is going to be a hot day above 90 should I add couple more gallons of shock to maintain above 20ppm to be safe? The green is still evident the algae seems to be still alive in the water. What do I do?
Kids are disappointed that hey can't jump in tomorrow during the 4th party 
Thank you for your help.
