Well I had to start a new thread because the other was becoming to long. In short I went to see the troll and took a water sample: see below. I dont understand her CL reading because my test kit shows much higher.......Water is still milky murky and no Baq present.
About my 5th day of conversion confusion.....

Saturation index -.64
Total dissolved solids 0
Free Chlorine 1.9
Total chlorine 2.0
Combined Chlor. .1
PH 7.1
Cyanuric Acid 29
Copper 0
Iron 0
Total Alkalinity 82
Adjusted Alk. 82
Calcium Hardness 180



I have been testing with my Walmart kit and doing the 1 part pool 2 parts distilled and getting a cl reading of 10-15ppm- I cant figure what is up.:eek:

troll reccomended adding 6.25 lbs of Baking soda????Im cluless!Any assistance from above is greatly appreciated

Delete this and stay with your original thread......it's hard to follow where you're going if no one knows where you've been.

Don't worry about the alkalinity for now--get your Chlorine back up to 15--if you let it stay around 2 or 3, you'll be forever getting this finished!!!

Bleach, bleach, bleach, it WILL happen, just don't give up!!
