Regular Clorox is fine...any Sodium Hypochlorite is good, as long as there are no other ingrediets (other than the "inert" kind). First, make sure your settings are on imperial and not metric...your units should show gallons and not liters. (Go into "more calcs" and "settings"). enter your pool size, which would be 2,000 gallons and your bleach percentage, which would be 6% and click "save & close". Then, back at the main page, enter either how much bleach you put in OR how many PPM you wish to raise your chlorine amount and click on "calculate". At the grey boxes at the bottom it will give you your other calculations (how much your PPM should be raised if you put "x" amount of bleach in or how much bleach to put in if you want to raise your PPM by "x" amount).

Hi Sherra, I put in 2000 gal 6%. I tested with the strips and the FC shows clears no color what so ever So what should I raise it up to?

When I put in any of the numbers and then calculate it it comes up to Run-time error '13' Type mismatch

Thanks

How long are you waiting to test? Even for a pool that small I'd wait an hour to re-test...and ditch the strips...get a drop based kit.

For a 2,000 gallon pool, every cup of 6% bleach you add should raise your CC by 2 PPM. 2 cups would raise it 4 PPM, etc.
