Thanks...... did NOT know about not adding to skimmer.
I checked the Alk again this morning and it was at 90-100 so I am going to wait a few more days tilll I test again and go from there. (90 if you count the water turning very light pink and 100 if it has to be more dark) I have a Taylor kit.

Would the "eyeball"/return be ok to use the way it is (it really pushes the water on top of the pool---most I know (have seen) are under the water by about 2 inches)....???

THANKS

Michelle
