    Default Pool problems. (Update)

    I have been a pool owner for about a year now and I must admit that I didn't do a good job running the pool. I promised my self that I would learn the correct way.

    My pool is really brown/cloudy. Here are my test results.

    About 20000 gallon plaster IG pool
    Hayward cartridge filter has been on 24/7 for weeks

    CL - off the chart. I put 6 large bottles of bleach in yesterday (4-25-06)
    PH - 7.2
    Total Alkalinity - I stopped putting drops in the tester at 70 drops
    Total Hardness - I added 5 drops of hardness indicator and the water started to turn blue until I mixed the water then it went clear.
    CYA - About 120


    I think the first thing I need to do is get the CYA down no?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Edit:

    I read the FAQ on HOWTO: Step-by-Step Guide to lowering your alkalinity.

    I turned on the water fall to help aerate the pool
    Should I put acid in the pool even know my Ph is low? I will hold off on putting anything in the pool until I am instructed to.
