Update - Water could be accused of being PERFECT today. I think you were right Marie, I need to shock at 20. (and I thought stains were your only specialty - hehe). I plan to keep it up there for a while until my refills get here. Will 20-25ppm damage my liner? After I bring the CL back down, I plan on maintaining pH at 7.2 and ALK at 100. Does this sound acceptable? I read somewhere that SWGs seem to be a bit more effective at a lower pH. I also noticed there was considerably less "stuff" on the bottom this morning. Makes me wonder if the "stuff" was some sort of algae that wasn't getting completely broke down. Anyway, thanks a million Marie. I hope someday to be able to help like you all do.
Thanks again.
