Here are my first clear water test results: (Leslie's did them.)

FC: 0

TAC: 0

pH: 7.6

TA: 90

Calcium Hardness: 200-400

CYA: 80

Salt--she didn't test, but my generator says 2600 and is not asking for more. It is set at 80%. I think it's still dissolving and generating from salt addition last night.


I have buttloads of bleach in my car, but I've suddenly gone squeamish after being barraged with incredulity from various pool company personnel (one and all) upon hearing I have put Clorox in my pool!!!!!!!!! I mean, they have seriously demeaned me. But it's probably time to put in more bleach, huh?

One lady told me I was probably blowing holes through my DE filter grids with the bleach. Turns out the filtering problem is a bad gasket, and the whole shebang is covered under our home owners' warranty, all fixed tomorrow. But even before they get here, my water is now clear and we're on the road to recovery, FINALLY.

You guys are sure....Bleach, right?
