Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
try it out and tell me
1/2 a bag OS shock
Although one bag of shock does treat usually 10,00 gallons, that is assuming a clear pool to start with. Since you had an algae infestation, more shock will be required. A simple rule of thumb is when treating problem water to double or even triple shock the pool. Simply put, there wasn't enough shock there to finish the job. Test your water for chorine. Most shocks are chlorine based. If your chlorine is low or zero, it will confirm the need for more shock.
go to your local dealer and purchase a bag of pool shock in one hour it will be clear again If your controller has a Shock or Super Chlorinate setting then put it in super chlorinate and run the filter. You should also add sone algeacide and maintain it.
1/2 a bag will cover up to 5,000 gal & is still safe for a 3800 gal pool; use 1/2 a bag about every 4 to 6 days. Shock will clear the green but may not clear the cloudiness if you wait too long, but the water should still be safe to swim in; have your water tested by your pool professional at least once a week, it's usually free.
yes
Take a sample of the water to a pool shop and they will be able to tell you what you will need.
Simply put any pool can be a salt water pool, even an above ground pool.
there is shock you can buy from the pool supply store and also put lots and lots of chlorine , don't swim in it or let anybody swim in it for at least 2 to 3 days depending on how much you put in there.
Shock it with chlorine shock at the rate of 1lb per 10kgal.
Sounds like it may have cleaned up some pipes and/or filter sand. If that's the case, be sure to backwash your filter.
