    all righty then :-) I will definitely do a partial drain/refill, stop using the pucks, and switch to bleach. Thanks a million! (I also ordered the K2006 kit...through your link so that you guys get some of the $...you deserve it!)

    Just a note about the suits --

    I *think* that the bleaching effect of chlorine is ALSO reduced by high CYA, so the suits *may* be fine. Chem_Geek is more confident of this than I, and he has a better grasp on the analytical side of the chemistry than I do. I've got some niggling memories of conversations years ago with one of the pioneers of industrial bleach production that make me a little less confident.

    But odds are that your suits will be OK, even if you can't go au naturel. It's just I'm not complete sure of that,yet.
