Total Hardness 0
Free Chlorine 0
Total Chlorine 0
PH 6.2
18,000gallon above ground
Alkalinity - less than 60ppm
The Clorox pool app said to add calcium hardness increase first. Added 5.5 lbs as reccomended. Started with 0. Adding brought it up to 110. Then added 3 bags of shock in attempt to raise PH some before adjusting. 14 hours later total hardness is back to 0, chlorine and free chlorine 0, alkalinity still too low and ph still 6.2. After 3 hours calcium was 150, total chlorine was at 1 and free chlorine was at 1. But again, now it's all zeros.
I think I need some help as to which order to add chemicals so the water can keep chlorine. I have not used algaecide yet, the bottle says to adjust chlorine first. I'm sure theres some non visible algae. Water is slightly cloudy but I can see the bottom clearly.
