Thanks for this info. We went to 5 area Wal-marts to get the 6-way Drops test kit, and none of them had it. We even went into a couple of pool supply stores. All we could find was the 3-way. We have ordered the Taylor kit and it should be on its way.

After the first round of bleach / borax dosing our readings are:

Free chlorine 1.5
Combined chlorine 3.0
pH 7.6

We still have green color. We are going to add another 2 gallons of bleach this morning and another 6 tonight. Please advise if this is incorrect.

Until we get our Taylor kit is there another way to test the CYA level?

Thanks,
Kimberly
