    Well, I purchased fifty pounds of chlorine granules and a box of shock...added an extra packet of that last night...so three packets of shock total....one packet is the equivalent of 10, 000 gallons....put in three (more than suggested) will test later and post.

    Salt *is* chlorine. Salt systems -- actually Salt Water Chlorine Generators -- are just a METHOD adding chlorine. The SWCG converts chloride from sodium chloride (salt) into chlorine (hypochlorous acid)

    Susanne. We are trying to help but we still don't have a complete set of current numbers. Without that we can't really do much for you. Have you ordered a K2006 kit? If not, what kit did you buy?

    We have no idea what the ingredients are in the granular chlorine or shock that you used. Cal-hypo? Dichlor?

    There was a reason that Ben recommended that you use bleach. It is because until we know what your numbers are, it is the thing we know that you can use without having unwanted side effects.
