First off i would like to thank all you for your replys/help with this topic.

Trying to open this weekend, mother nature don"t want to help me very much, talking about showers on & off all weekend
OK, Got the Taylor K2006C kit & ran a test last nite, here they are.

Chlorine ~ 0 ~ i could not even get the powder to turn any shade of pink even with a 10ml sample & 8 scoops of powder
pH ~ 7.4
TA ~ 80
Calicum Hardness ~ 180/200
CYA ~ < 30 ~ the dot was gone with the test vial filled all the way to the top, the 30 mark is about 3/16" to 1/4" below the top of the vial

My best guess after i get the it open is to shock to 10/15ppm & keep it there until i loose less then 1ppm overnite
increase my CYA between 30/50
return my free chlorine level to 4/5ppm with my CYA between 30/50 & retest?
am i on the right track?
Whevever i see my combined chlorine come off of 0 i need to bring my chlorine to shock level to kill whatever nastys are in the water

A quick question for you guys about the CYA ~ Could i pre-dissolve it in a 5gal bucket, (place the CYA in a nylon & place it in the bucket & add the solution as needed) when i open the pool? I know it would be a longshot as to what % i was actually adding doing it this way, but i would only add say a gallon at a time as i have some CYA present in the pool now. Just a thought

Again Thanks for all of your help ~ Mike
