    Thanks a million Ben. I am amazed (and admittedly somewhat overwhelmed) by your lessons. Great info and lots of food for thought.

    Two quick follow up comments:

    1. I will go online and get the K1515 kit that you recommended. I checked and my Leslie's DPD is a re-branded Taylor kit.

    2. My float full of tabs seems to hold me steady at only about 3ppm with a currently low CYA. Am I safe to add the daily doses of bleach as an adjunct to the floater to bring up my daily chlorine?

    Thanks again.

    Jim

    Yes. Many people use trichlor pucks and bleach in their pools. Just keep an eye on your pH if you use pucks as they are very acidic and will drive the pH down. Also, monitor the CYA every couple of weeks and when your CYA hits 50, discontinue using the pucks.
