starting up after winter

We don't know if you have any CYA, you probably don't but until you get the refill...
Do test and add chlorine as often as possible so it doesn't go low.

Ok so the water is now milky blue before brushing, but after brushing turns greenish/brownsih until everything settles. Is the algae dead?? I still have the oto kit. Will it actually turn orange if my chlorine is high enough?

[Watermom]

I don't think it is all dead yet from what you are describing but it is hard to tell what is going on without testing numbers. Really high chlorine will turn an OTO chlorine test orange.

[costo]

what test numbers do you need?

[Watermom]

We really need a CYA reading since necessary chlorine levels are based on it. Do you have one?

[costo]

Unfortunately not. I ordered a replacement bottle and the shipping estimate is Thursday May 17, 2012 - Tuesday May 22, 2012

Were you ordering the 16oz bottle through Amazon? (I'm asking because I need to get some idea about shipping these products. With a ship date like that, whatever company you are buying from is selling out of Taylor's stock, not their own. I'd rather avoid recommending sellers who do that, if there are other options.)
