    That is correct, but it's a vinyl pool, so TA is not a concern unless pH varies greatly.

    Thank you! I'll start with bleach and borax then! It's slowly coming back to me.

    OK, I added 3 lbs. of shock (I checked CYA with a test strip and it was 20ish), left and went to walmart. When I came back and hour and a half later, it turned a clear green in the deep end???

    I thought you were going to use bleach. (?) What kind of shock did you add? Please list its ingredients. In fact, please list everything you have used in the pool so far meaning ingredients.

    Do you fill from a well?
