Total Alk is 40, and stablizier was close to the 0 color. This is the best I can do with numbers at the moment. I will have to get a drop kit tomorrow at Pool City or somewhere.

    Mike- I went to 2 different stores about not keeping chlorine and not ONE of them mentioned adding stabilizer!! Grrrr

    John- we mostly keep it off. The one time we put it on for a few days, the water was green when we took it off. Once I get these chemicals right, I will start leaving it on. Its starting to get a bit chilly at night too.

    Soo.. since everything in my pool is basically low or non existant, can i just start with bleach, borax and baking soda to start fixing my problem. I stopped at Kmart today and bought some of everything.. B B B Im ready!
    You can order the Taylor K-2006 Test Kit directly from Taylor Technologies here (http://www.taylortechnologies.com/) for $68 and free shipping. You can also order PS234 Test Kit from PoolSolutions here (http://www.poolsolutions.com/cart/shopping.php. Either way, you need your own kit.
