Chris,

Yeah, lots more baking soda. Since you put in 4 lbs, bleachcalc tells me you should be around 30ppm. I would target 100ppm so you need around 12-15 more lbs to get to that number........it'll probably come up a little short but you don't want to overshoot by too much. (80-120 is fine)

Your chlorine maintenance and shock levels are determined by your CYA levels. Search "best guess" to find that table. I would suggest a target CYA (stabilizer) of 40ppm so that would mean maintaining Cl around 3-6ppm and 15-18 if you need to shock.

That's a great looking pool and setting. Did you get much help from those three in the picture? The little blonde appears productive but the other two look like they might be inspectors from the city!!

Thanks for the input. Yes the little one has been a big help especially throwing dirt clogs into the pool. Other one constantly demanding changes according to her "code" talk with you again, chris
