Thanks for the info. I have the Borax but found I ran out of bleach so I took what the wife had left in the laundry room (regular clorox, about .5 gallons) and put that in there till I can get out to the store tomorrow.

Re the pump... apparently that 1.5HP (SPL) is actually about a 3/4hp in actual hp ratings. That's what I got from some people on this forum previously.

Im in Brick, Northern Ocean County.

Watermom, wouldnt a gallon of 6% raise my pool like 4.8ppm? Or am I missing something?

[aylad]

Yes, a gallon will raise it 4.8, but in Watermom's post, she stated that a quart would raise it by a little over 1 ppm...

[mastamoon]

Lol, whoops.. amazing what your eyes see and what your brains register sometimes.

Just dumped 2 gallons of bleach in... 6% sodium hypochlorate i believe it is. Target brand bleach @ 2.99 a gallon. Such a money pit.

Mastamoon, I was in Brick yesterday! The pool feels like a big money pit right now, but once you get command it is really A LOT cheaper than people think. As long as you stay out of the pool store. You can beat that price too. I have been getting 98oz. Bottles (the "regular" size bleach bottle) for .99 cents each at Aldi. I was not much over a hundred bucks total last year and I am a 33,000 gallon pool. Granted, I will spend more this year, but some leftover chemicals will make next year like last year. I think running a big 'ol IG pool for the same cost as a tank of gas in a Chevy Suburban is pretty darn reasonable! Good luck!
