Brown shock won’t disappear
Brown shock won’t disappear
Please help . I could only find this brown shock from Walmart . I put two packs in and it is just sitting on pool floor. I have vacuumed at least 3 times and the particles just swirl around making water appear dirty. I used the fluccount ( sp) and it didn’t clump it up. I have a sand filter . I can show a pic but I’m unsure how on here . My levels all seem fine when I do test strips.

Re: Brown shock won’t disappear
Shock is just strong chlorine
Let's have your numbers (CYA is very important) Use a pool storee if you don't have a FAS/DPD kit
FC:
TC:
pH:
TA:
CH:
CYA:
Use these common products to balance your pool
Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite or plain bleach)
Muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) to lower pH and TA
Bicarbonate of soda to raise TA
Aeration will raise pH only
Soda ash will raise pH and TA
Test strips are commonly called guess strips
You really need to get yourself a decent FAS/DPD test kit (Taylor K2006c or TF Testkits TF100 in the states) to get accurate results as maintaining an appropiate shock level means testing quite often during the day and not just dumping shock in and thinking "that's it"

Re: Brown shock won’t disappear
I’ve taken my water to the store before and they said levels were good . I put in whatever they tell me and it’s still there . My cya level is low from my basic test strip from home . But the shock will not dissolve

Re: Brown shock won’t disappear
That's your problem just taking and buying what the pool store says
