Thanks BigDave, I thought the dilution trick would work and that it should work for chlorine levels off the chart too... I was surprised the gentleman at Leslies didn't do that for me, but I'm beginning to understand those guys aren't necessarily rocket surgeons.

Kelemvor, yes, you are confirming what I *think* I know, but needed confirmation from someone with experience. Thanks. I didn't know brushing and running pump continuously would help... will do.
