Will this work?

Thanks for the reply!!
-Yes, I have 9lbs of burnout left. The active ingredient is calcium hypochlorite-57.8%, and "other" is 42.2% not specific though.
-Pool is still cloudy "blue-green" I can see about 4'-5' deep. Not foamy anymore, but haven't shocked in 2 days
-Pump is running, will clean steps and get the products you recommend tonight.
-Nothing connected between pump and filter
-No access to Sam's Club
Also, I have a different pool store in walking distance from my house. Can I trust their testing method, or should I still pick up a OTO test kit? They use "PINPOINT" Computerized Water Analysis.
-Temp= 75
-PH= 7.0
-Alkalinity= 90
-CYA= 40
Thank you!!

Correction-my pool is 22,500 gallons not 29,000

Unfortunately, the ONLY way we've found for you to tell if you can trust a pool store's testing is by getting a K-2006, and then seeing if they match. If they do, you can probably trust them -- but most don't. Of course, once you have a K2006, you don't NEED the pool store!

You *do* need the OTO kit, ASAP.

OK, you still need the bleach, the acid, and the borax.

If you are SURE you have nothing between the skimmer and the filter, except pipes and pump, instead of the bleach, do this:
1. Do not do this if you've just backwashed the filter.
2. Get a box of borax and a bag of shock open and ready next to the skimmer.
3. Make sure the skimmer basket is clean.
4. Add about 1/4 box of borax via the skimmer.
5. Add 1 lb of the cal hypo blend shock via the skimmer
6. Follow with another 1/4 box of borax

Do this EACH evening, but skip that days dose if the filter was backwashed that day. What you are doing is building up some calcium on the sand that will tend to 'catch' the metals in your pool water.

Test the chlorine in the AM with the OTO kit, and add 1 gallon of bleach to the pool, if the chlorine level is below 3.0

Ok. I got all the stuff you recommended last night except for the OTO kit. I will get that today. I tested with the k-2006 this morning and Chlorine was at 1. I added a gallon of bleach per your instruction, and will add Borax and hypo this evening. Thanks.

[PoolDoc]

sounds good.

I got to reading in some other threads and noticed that it's recommended to keep your pool at shock level until you can keep from losing 1ppm chlorine from evening until morning. Considering my chlorine went from 3 to 1 overnight, and now (6:15pm) its at .4, should I be doing this?

[PoolDoc]

If you dose with cal hypo, as instructed above, that will take care of it. Just make sure your chlorine doesn't get below 2.0 ppm

[HOF-City]

Added the cal hypo and borax. Waited a couple hours then tested. My FC is under 1 and CC is 3. You said to make sure Chlorine stays above 2. Should I keep adding? Pool is looking the same. Steps have remained clean thus far after scrubbing, basically just green-blue color and cloudy.
