I have two Taylor test kits. I should have been more clear. I need to get something to accurately measure the bleach with since it is in five gallon buckets.

I pour my bulk (5 gallon) bleach into one gallon containers for ease of handling. I measure my doses with a "red solo cup". You might want to consider diluting the high test. Concentrated sodium hypochlorite breaks down much faster from heat and light than dilute.

Thanks Dave. I got a 2 gallon bucket from Home Depot with all kinds of different measurements marked on the inside. It worked like a charm. You are correct about the higher strength sodium hypo. The batch I used today tested out at 15.5% in the lab. We had some today that was 22%. Anyway, I added it at dusk and poured it slowly into one of the waterfalls in the deep end. The pump is going to run for three hours. I'll test the chlorine tomorrow and add as needed.
