Thank you Watermom

A couple things;
1. I cant go to the "Get the test kits you need" post. I get a message that says "you do not have permission to access this page"
2. My pool is a 15'x30' oval. approx 4' deep throughout so my water capacity is closer to 12,000 gallons.
3. After making the original post I found I had a large bag of baking soda. I added 9lbs per it's suggestions to bring up the TA.

Should I still ad Borax? or just wait a bit and test the pH and add Borax as needed if the pH is still low?
So bleach = shock?
Is this better then using actual shock?

Should I add more CYA to increase the TA more?


Thank you for your help!
