Thanks for all your advice. Tested today and everything is great!!!! I have a SI of 0. CYA came down to 110. I use bleach so all is good there. Yes, I am very aware of the emptying vinyl pools as we learned the hard way about 10 years ago. Dumped just enough to go below jets and then refilled and it was enough to get numbers at a more manageable level. Pool looks great and feels great. My true test is that I can swim without goggles. I guess I just needed a new experience in managing my pool. I am even more knowledgeable and your site has helped me greatly along with the Taylor kit. Onward I go into the deep blue of my pool!! Have a great summer everyone and be safe! Diane
