I do have a drop test kit - the Taylor K2006A and I tested for alkalinity, hardness, and CYA on Wednesday. I printed off the Pool School Basic Pool Care schedule which recommended testing only chlorine and pH daily, TA and CH levels weekly, and CYA levels probably monthly (says seasonally, large water replacement). So, I have only been reporting to you my test that I have been performing daily. Tests that I performed on Wednesday are posted on that day.

In looking at the Best Guess Chlorine chart, and hoping that as I stop using the pucks, the CYA will gradually come down as my kids swim and I add water as my pool leaks (*sigh*), I see that I want to keep my FC at about 8-15 ppm.

I can't see what measurements I put in for my pool, but as we have a roman shaped pool and it is 38-40 ft long by 18 ft wide, and 3-8 ft deep, I am getting about 28-29,000 gallons.

How does one figure out ppm in adding liquid chlorine? As soon as the remaining pucks dissolve I am going to start using the liquid.
