Super quick reply because I'm clocking in at work right now. Thanks for the tips. I did turn the dial on chlorinator to off but did not remove the tablets. There was only one partial tab left in there so I left it. I am going to sams club in the am to buy a truckload of bleach, baking soda, and borax. I have high hopes this is going to work much better than my current process of chasing my tail. I'll post my readings tomorrow and see if I'm moving in the right direction. Thanks guys!
