    The pool calculator is not our favorite one to recommend as it encourages people to add single large doses of things to solve problems. We prefer the test, add, retest, add more if necessary approach.

    Yes, I did discuss that approach with Red above - "sneak up" on the level you want. The calculator will certainly give a "total dose" which can then be applied in several doses as you describe.

    If you do it that way (divided doses, with testing between) it's OK.

    It's also OK to use single doses for chlorine.

    OK. I didn't read the entire thread and missed that part. Thanks!
