Actually, since your CYA is low, this is one time I think it would be better to go ahead and shock with the dichlor instead of bleach. Dichlor will also add some CYA which you need. Once you get a good test kit like I recommended above, you'll be able to test your own water including CYA. You don't want your CYA to go much over 40 so you'll need to monitor it and then switch to just using bleach for your source of chlorine at that point. For every 10ppm of chlorine that dichlor adds, it also adds 9ppm of CYA. So, you can see that it won't take too long to build up the CYA. Try and keep your chlorine at shock level to make it clear faster. We suggest testing at least twice a day and each time, adding enough chlorine to get back to shock level. (Another reason you need a good kt.)

In the meantime, go to Walmart and buy an OTO/Phenol red kit. It will only read chlorine levels to 5 but you can force it to higher than that by using a dilution method that you can read about here:

It is not super accurate but will do to tide you over until you can get a kit ordered. Keep us posted with how things are going.
