Thanks! I've already opened the kit last night because it came with test strips and I ended up putting two of the Aqua Chem tablets in a floater while running the filter pump thingy.. I have yet to open the box of Aqua Chem Shock though. I went by the pool store today and they tested my water(wasnt sure if the test strips I used were accurate, they weren't). These are the results:
Free Available Chlorine 0.56
Total Chlorine 0.56
Combined Chlorine 0
Ph Level 7
Total Alkalinity 42
Calcium Hardness 61
Cyanuric Acid 3
Copper 0
Iron 0
Manganese 0
Nitrates 0
Total Dissolved Solids 0
Phosphates 0
Saturation Index -1.2
Endure 0

He said we could swim today, but to shock it tonight to bring up the chlorine levels, but not to use anything with Dichlor and instead to use some with Cal-Hyoe? I read the ingredients on my shock and it does contain Dichlor something or other and says you can get in the pool after 15 mins? I don't understand why it would not be compatible with the tablets I'm using since they are made by the same company. Will it bring my CYA up too much if I use it tonight? Will the chlorine levels be safe by tomorrow morning if I use it tonight? I'm scared to use those strips now since they aren't accurate and I think the pool place is closed tomorrow. Spent so much money on these chemicals and would hate for them to go to waste... Should I use them this summer and do the bbb method next year? I'm so confused over all this stuff
