    The package is called "Dura Shock" and it states that it is
    "57% Sodium Dichloro-s - Triazinetrione*
    43% Other ingredienets
    *Provides 35% Available Chlorine"

    Or, I could just use bleach? It is 8.25% Sodium Hypochlorite.

    Can you take the package of shock back? I'd just use bleach. We are kinda skeptical about 43% 'other' ingredients!

    Nah - it's been opened. I already used a cup already. I do have bleach, and should I go ahead with the dry acid? Dry acid first and then bleach? My alkalinity is still too high.
