Keith - if you’re referring to capacity, we actually are in the 35k range. It’s got a deep bottom end on it. Whoever had it built must have been a scuba diver. The shallow end, IIRC, is about 42”. Not a kiddy pool, for sure, it was built for adults who can swim. It has a steel rung ladder, but she also wants to put in a complete set of steps and rails in the shallow end (more the better for me). She said the calcium level was very low as of two days ago, so she did a two-day on a calcium raiser (sp?) and more Shock (which my wallet is also feeling - shock). I also got her enough flocculent to treat 100k gallons, and more pool bleach. BTW, the pool isn’t a saltwater pool, although I’d like to add that inline. For some reason, treating with pool salt seems to clear it right up if another bloom hits. Not sure what the other levels, pH, chlorine, etc. are yet. Gotta check that tomorrow. I leave most of the dirty work to her. Not that I can’t do it, but she was jonesing for a pool when we found this house, and staked dominion over it and the courtyard when we moved in. All I cared about was the 10’ palm tree with massive girth planted in the corner of the pool fence. My little piece of the tropics. As Gina can tell you, I have bad legs that are subject to reinfection (I’m ‘high risk’, says my doctor), so the water has to be crystal clear and bacteria free for me to get in it.
A picture would help. Try to get the pH around 7.2 and elevate the chlorine level, 10 lbs. Floc (aluminum sulfate) to settle the algae. Vacuum to waste. If it’s mustard algae use bromide 2 lbs, along with a good amount of chlorine, 10 lbs. Use quality chlorine. Stay away from any 3-n-1 type products like HTH brand. Most of the time if the water chemistry gets crazy fresh water is the best thing, then balance the water. Good luck.
