Green hue in clear water...

[Sparkle]

Got it! A few more questions (a couple of which might sound absurd to you)...
1. When you say gallons of bleach, you actually mean gallons and not bottles, right? Around here, all of the bottles people call gallons are actually 3 quarts. Or do you mean that size bottle?

I bought 1.42 gal size bottles, so what I'm getting ready to add for shock is truly 8.52 gal of 6% bleach.

2. Will 2 of the smaller bottles each evening suffice? He will not want to measure anything.

3. How long does the pump need to run after he adds the bleach? It is set on a timer that I can adjust if needed before I leave.

You have no idea how much I APPRECIATE all of this information!!!

+ I mean gallons -- 4 quarts, 8 pints, ~8.5 lbs of 6% solution

+ round chlorine doses UP; all other doses DOWN

+ How about 1 big and 1 little bottle? (rounding UP )

+ 2 hours should be enough.
