    + You can find any stores in your area that carry the HTH 6-way testkit, by following the link, and then clicking the "Look for stores where you can Pick Up Today" link on the Walmart page.

    + Take the Floatron out, and stick to 2 gallon bleach (2 ppm) doses, via the skimmer, till the copper is gone. You'll probably need to do this in the evening, and again in the AM.

    + If you find any 60% algicide that has an ingredient poly [oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride] . . . or that just starts with "poly", buy a bottle and use it.

    + Try to get a 6 way, and find out what your CYA level is. Order a K-2006
