    Okay, I put the bleach in last night. I went this morning to Home Depot and got the dropper test.

    I read the charts on there, and it is saying I need to put alot more ph minus in it than I was doing.
    I was going by the test strips and only putting 6 dry ounces in at a time. This says I need around 9 cups! Wow! I have not put the new dosage of ph minus in it yet.
    The water does look clearer today. The white stuff was just in the beginning stages this time, so it looks like the bleach might have knocked it out.
    So, will I stiil be able to use the chlorine tabs I got? They cost alot and I really don't want to waste them.
    So, what do I need to next to my water?....thank you so much for the information!!!!! )

    I did the dropper test this morning.
    Readings were:
    Chlorine:3.0 to 5.0
    ph: 8.2
    alk: 360
    Now I just went and checked it and it says almost no chlorine.
    My pool holds 2,150 gallons.
    I know now I need to put alot more ph minus in then I was using.
    How much stabilizer should I put in and how often?
    How much bleach per day, and can I still use my chlorine tabs?
    The test says I need to put 9 cups of phminus in.
    What order to do these, and best time of day?
    Thank you so much! )
