    My. Advice: buy a Taylor K-2006 now and learn to use it. Learn the pool care method described here and on poolsolutions.com and you'll have no trouble with your "Heavy Duty" pool.

    1. Do not worry about the alkalinity.
    2. Do not worry about calcium
    3. Do get the pH into the range between 7.2 and 7.8 ASAP.
    4. Do get the K2006.
    5. Do make sure you add some chlorine daily (1/4 gallon of 6% household bleach each evening) till you have another plan.
