For the 5 way kit from walmart , if you fill the test cylinder up to the line and added 5 drops and it didnt register , you need to add chlorine.
Look for MWsmiths Bleach Calculator . It will tell you how much bleach you need for your size pool
I hope you meant Borax (20 mule team) and NOT Boraxo (hand soap).:eek:
I hope you didn't use boraxo....that is a hand soap. You need to use Borax (20 mule team in the green box)Quote:

Please post a complete set of test results, how many gallons your pool is, and whether it is vinyl, fiberglass, or plaster.
I think the 6 way is the test strip. I have some of those from WalMart but since I found this site I upgraded to the drops kit. It's amazing how different your readings are with the strip and drops. I won't trust a strip test again.
