    OK,

    I tried the 2/1 Pool-distilled Chlorine ratio and my Free Chlorine is at 15ppm. I'm going to bring it up to 20ppm. (going to run to the store and pick up more Bleach!

    I'll keep trying a little longer.

    Should I remove the fountain in the pool?

    Stick with it. Keep it at shock level and keep filtering and it will clear up.

    You'll find it a lot easier when you get your test kit.

    Just for those keeping score.

    7/22/06-I've got my FC up to about 25. Checked it at 5pm and just now checked it at 10pm. The level has maintained.

    Good, this will tell all - if the chlorine will stay, then all of the bad stuff is dead - then it will just have to filter out.

    If it went down that much, then it is defineatly fighting something. You probably needed to get up to 25 to really get it under attack. Consistancy is the key!

    OK, I'll go with that.

    7/23/06 - 11:29, checked my FC to make sure I got the FC high enough. Rightnow, based on Dilution method (this time I used drops and mixed 3/1 distilledwater:PoolWater). I dumped in about .75 gal of Bleach at my last post and it rased it to about 20. Now I'll add another .75 Gal to get it up to 25.
