Hi, M,

I think you're on the right track. Order Ben's kit....you'll save that much money in gas the first month you own it.

I think their numbers make sense....pointing out how worthless those test strips are.

So your pH is Ok for now. You Cl is not too bad either but you need to get some more in there. You must figure out how many gallons are in your pool (download mwsmith2's calculator from this forum) and then you need to add enough Clorox to bring your Cl up to around 12ppm. I think you need more than that but I can't tell 'til you post a CYA number on the forum. Post that test up as soon as you can and, soon, your pool will clear miraculously and you will have a big smile on your face.
