I would start with about 1 cup, pre-dissolved or poured very slowly into the skimmer to avoid clumping, give it 2-3 hours and retest, then dose again as needed to target around 90 ppm. Alk is one of those things that is a real PITA to lower, so you don't want to overshoot it.

After scouring the internet.... I figured adding 1 box couldnt hurt....so I did... waited, tested and added another box based on results.... now have a T/A of 90... :)
Just a FYI, there is an Online Pool Calculator that is just awesome. You put in your pool gallons, and the number and your goal and it tells you how much to add.
sevver: That calculator is awsome!!!!! THANKS!!!! Now I have a good reference to adjust chem!!!
