    I got more time to post now. After a few hours of adding everything yesterday here were the numbers using the new recommended test kit. Chlorine was around 6, ph 7.4, alky was 100. Retested this morning, chlorine was 0, ph 7.1 alky 80. Added more borax and 4 more gallons off Clorox and brushed again

    Did you perform the CYA test? What's the result?

    Update. I go out and test pool. All numbers are good.. Water is blue, much clearer! I'm still looking for somewhere that sells DE to help filter the smaller things (I can see the bottom but It's not clear enough to see the liner patten) but I'll drop down to the 2 gal of Clorox today.
