    Marlene, I forgot to mention that you will need about 8.5 litres of 6% bleach to get into the proper range. Then keep testing frequently to maintain as close to that level as possible.

    Hi,

    In my two way kit, my chlorine level is around 2, and my PH is a little low, around 6. Going to a pool store right now is out of the question, I'm two ferry rides and an hour drive away from one!

    Marlene, 3 gallons of 6% bleach will give you a chlorine of about 15ppm. As long as your stabilizer isn"t really high that should work. Keeping it there by adding your bleach at night and running your filter 24/7 should start clearing this up. If your PH really is at 6 you need to get it up to about 7.6 quickly. Go to a grocery store and get a hold of a few boxes of plain old 20 Mule Team Borax. Add it to your pool about 1/2 box at a time and keeping adding and testing until you get the PH into range.

    Marlene,

    "Wolly's" advice is rock solid. Get that pH up Now!! Heed his/her entire post.

    Thanks for the advice, I'm at work right now, but just as soon as I get home, I'll do as instructed. I'll let you know how things go!

    I'm pretty sure you need to recalculate your gallons also. I have a 15 x 30 and the manufacturer says I have 14,850 gal.
