I will run out and get a test kit and post the numbers tomorrow. The pool store guy never gave me my exact numbers. Just ' a little low, but that can wait until you get back'.

I will also look at the shock and see what kind it is. Thanks so much and I cant wait to get this problem fixed. We have been calling the pool the 'money pit' this year!!!
Don't feel bad, you're now at the right place, learning the right things. I've got the same size pool as yours, in Georgia, where things like mildew and algae seem to thrive. I'm spending around two or three dollars a week on my pool, less when it isn't SO hot.
