found my note paper with the test results. Here are the results i wrote down today:

7am: approx. 1.5 ppm. --> added about 4-5 gallons of bleach (neglected to write this amount down)

1pm: approx. 10 ppm --> 7am: approx. 1.5 ppm. --> added about 4-5 gallons of bleach (cant remember now bc i forget the piece of paper i wrote the levels/amounts down on and its been a long day of renovating)

1pm: approx. 10 ppm -->added 3 quarts
3pm: approx. 10 ppm --> added 1.42 gals (1 walmart sized bottle of bleach)
5pm: holding steady at 15 ppm

-------------------------------------


Tested the water around 845pm tonight and got a reading of 7.5 ppm, but Im skeptical of it b/c of having to use the diluted water method for color matching...it may very well be higher. To be safe I added 3 gals of bleach to bring it up to 15 ppm. Will test again in the morning.

Should I leave the pump on 24/7 through next week? Anything else I need to be doing at this point?

Tomorrow Ill be returning that crappy test kit to leslie's and monitoring the pool throughout the day while renovating.
