Okay so I bought new test strips---- The pool is clear Following two pounds of shock last evening free chlorine- O PH 7.2 Total alkalinity-40 Total Hardness-100- I have no idea what that is for CYA-0 What where are my chemicals going? I bought three gallons of liquid chlorine today and 5 pounds of granular. Any ideas?

I have a 24 round. So I usually calculate on 20000 gallons. So before the pool went green it went from clear to cloudy white for two days then started to change to green. Is that from using too many stabilized tablets?

Well the copper was the only thing that would clear the pool. Does it stay foever? Also how long does a pool chlorine level need to be maintained at shock level? I guess I will start with getting new test strips so I know my cya level. The pool calculator didn't work for me when I clicked on it. Also my test container only reads to chlorine level 5, do I need to keep taking samples in? The pool is clear. This is all over a bat, do bats contaminate water?

Okay, so I had a bat in my pool, don't know how long he was in there, but at least 8 hours. So I need to hyperchlorinate (super chlorinate) Pool store said bring the chlorine level up to 20ppm for three days. What will it take me to get me there. Does this seem like an excessive amount of Chlorine. I just corrected a green pool which was not easy, so in the last week I have used 10 ounces of Copper algecide and 4 pounds of shock, and 6 (3 inch)Chlorine tablets. My test kit only tests PH and Chlorine, after all that my chlorine level was 3 today and PH normal, but I just tossed in two more pounds of shock. At least the water cleared but now a bat jumps in and dies. UGH! What do I need now?
