    Thanks Janet,

    I must have forgot the CH. It was 120. Thanks for for the info. I'll not worry about the TA if the PH seems to be stable until at least later in the week when the good test kit arrives.

    I'm not too worried about the water being slightly cloudy. The pool is only a 15' x 48" AG pool and I can see the bottom, but thanks for the advice.

    Thanks to all again... I think I'm finally getting a hold of the method to the madness.

    Got the kit today...

    FC: 4.5
    CC: 0
    ph: 7.6
    TA: 220
    CYA: 50

    I didn't test the CH. I'll check it again tomorrow morning to see if FC drops any and add some bleach if it does. I have a single non-stabilized puck in the floater right now. The pool never has cleared up to perfect. I can see the bottom, but have to strain to see any leaves that need to be cleaned out. The kids are having a blast though so no problems there.
