Ok, yesterday afternoon we had a FC of 3

So last night around 9:00pm I added 14 Quarts (just to be sure it would hold until 12:00pm) of 6% Bleach (On sale at publix this week 3 - 3qt. jugs for $5.00) I also added 20oz of borax and 20oz of baking soda to bring the TA and PH a point or two up to what the calculator recommends.

This morning I have a FC of 15-17, Just to be sure I dropped a 3qt jug in and got an FC of 20ish.

The water went from green last night to grey this morning, still very cloudy but a noticeable change in color is great!

Since it was so high I will check it again tonight just before sundown and add 6% bleach as needed, I Figure 2 more days or so...

BTW, The pool store guy won't talk to me anymore :P I wanted to get a CYN lvl check, and he told me that CYN has nothing to do with chlorine amounts, and the only time I need to even worry about CYN is if it's causing CL lock. He then told me I needed over $70 worth of algaecide, flocculant and Tabs. (This was yesterday). I asked him if the ppm of chlorine needed to shock had anything to do with stab or cyn levels and he said no, (I know it does) I argued for about 10 seconds and then thought it better to just bite by tongue and leave.

I won't mention the name of the store, but it is a major chain in Florida and a darn shame at at that.

Total cost so far with my current method.. $14.00

I will give a shout tomorrow as to progress!
