    An SWCG would work, but honestly, for a lightly used 6,000 gallon pool, I'd use plain household bleach. You can always try it for 3 months, and then opt for an SWCG later. But bleach would be easier, once you learn how.

    Starting dose for a 6k gallon pool? Your pool has a pool factor of 20, so a gallon of 6% bleach (1/2 lb of chlorine gas equiv) would give you a ppm of 10.

    So, 1 quart should give you about 2.5 ppm.

    Keep your pH in the 7.6 - 7.8 range; use borax to raise it and muriatic acid to lower it.

    Thank you, Ben. My test kit should arrive today and I'll start trying the BBB method.
