Picked-up 4 boxes of borax, 3 gallons of bleach and a couple 4lb containers of CYA. Added 1 gallon of bleach and swept the pool. Tried to dilute the CYA in a 5 gallon buck, but apparently I bought the wrong kind. It's been in a bucket of water for over an hr and doesn't look like it has dissolved at all. Guess it will have to go in the skimmer once the pump is going.
Tomorrow, after work, I'll plan on adding 2 boxes of borax (by diluting in bucket), then half dose as you guys mentioned. I want to hold off restarting the pump till the pH was at 7 or more. Hopefully that will happen tomorrow night. I'll also try and pick-up the Cal-Hypo powder at the pool store on the way home.
I'm assuming that if the CYA goes in the skimmer I shouldn't put borax in the skimmer too.
