Sorry, before anyone else tries to answer this, I tried to post this LAST Sunday and have been in registration limbo for a week. The next thing I did was add 8lbs Cal Hyop (it sent chlorine through the roof, the next afternoon using dilution measuring method I was at 20ppm) and since then I've done nothing but a few tabs in the skimmer (yeah, I know I don't wanna use those very often due to Cyan Acid).

Through lots of internet research and a lot of luck, chlorine, pH and alkalinity have been within spec for 3 or 4 or 5 days now (today chlorine is down to between 3 and 5, pH is 7.6, alk is 100).

Spider gasket has gone bad but as soon as it is fixed I will be adding more chlorine. What flavor should I use? I have:

Chlorbrite - Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione dihydrate 99% (55% available chlorine)

Power Powder Pro - Calcium hypochloride 73% (min 70% avail)

Poolfresh 3" tablets - Trichloro-s-triazinetrione

6% bleach

Plan to get my spider gasket fixed in the next couple days.
