    Well I ditched the bromine tablets and I guess I'll start on the long road back to CL. If things go screwy then I guess I'll have no choice but to refill. It's only a 6000 gallon pool so it's not so bad.

    We'll see...

    Thank you for the reply: Sounds like I may be ok with my small AG pool in direct sunlight. Even up here in Canada we're seeing 80 degrees now, just in time for the Hockey playoffs.


    **********************
    But, if it's an outdoor pool, and you've had sun on the pool, the bromine is probably gone, and the pool is stabilized. Check the stabilizer level. Without stabilizer, or with stabilizer AND bromine, you'd probably have lost that chlorine / bromine already.

    I'll just continue with the daily testing and see what happens. Good news as the neighbours might get suspious with 6000 gallons of water in their back yards when it hasn't rained for a week... 8)
