    Give us some more info about your pool please. We need volume, type of filter, size of pump, current set of water testing results taken with a drops-based kit. Also, tell us exactly what all you have put in your pool -- meaning ingredients. Then somebody here can try and help you get this cleared up. Welcome to the forum!

    Hi Jcin. . .

    Whether you use 6% household or 15% industrial bleach doesn't really matter, though the household bleach is more likely to STILL be at its rated strength. End concentration of chlorine is what matters.

    Whether it should be 10 ppm or not depends on your stabilizer level. Read the best guess page, linked in my signature.
