    Question Re: Yikes! Filled pool, and now just discovered 'Index Dose' Method!

    Ok, just tested water...

    Cl: 1
    pH: 7.5 - 7.8 (closer to high end)
    CYA: <30 (duh)
    Alk: 150
    Hard: 230
    (Using HTH 6 Way)

    Add two more doses (one cup) to bump the Cl a little? How do I get the pH to drop?

    I'm all for keeping it simple over the summer by only using bleach and borax; any harm in not using the dichlor tabs?

    Gah! Just realized the title of this thread is 'Index' instead of 'Intex'...fat fingers!

    Your pH is actually OK for now, below 7.8.
    You want your CL to be around 3 - 6 if the water is clear, 12 if it's not.
