1. Buy 5 gallons of PLAIN 8% household bleach, a gallon of DISTILLED water, and a cheapo OTO/phenol red testkit
2. Test your pH and chlorine levels tonight. Then add 1 full gallon of bleach.
3. Test your chlorine level in the early AM (it should be off the scale) and again in the late PM. Post your results here.
4. Order a K2006 testkit + AquaChek salt strips + a Taylor phosphate kit. Be sure to watch the videos, especially on the CYA test. Ignore the booklet and the 'wheel' calculator.
5. Keep us posted. Your results from #3 will give me some idea what's going on.
6. Complete the pool equipment form, so we have a clear picture of what sort of pool you have: http://pool9.net/pf-equip-form
