    Thanks, Aylad.

    Could You tell or direct Me to approximately how much I will need? Or do I need to wait for My test kit I ordered from this site (via Amazon) so I know what My CA levels are?

    Each 3 quarts + 1 cup of 6% bleach will raise your FC by roughly 2 ppm, each 2 gallons will raise it by 5 ppm. To see what your levels need to be, you need to know the CYA level....once you know that, then you can use the link in my sig for the "best guess chlorine table" to see where to keep your chlorine levels.
