I've gotta hand it to you guys. I had to work a Midnight and dayshift in conjunction at work and was gone from home for over 16 hours. Came home around 2:30 pm today and the Cl was down to around 5 or 6 ppm. Added 1.5 gallons of "liquid Chorine" and took a nap. Woke up, tested again and still not much higher, added another 1.5 gallons. Have to go buy more now! I can already tell a big difference in appearance. Still have a long way to go though. I gotta say I am reluctant to buy a good test kit though. It seems like so much trouble to test that way. I have limped along for 5 to 6 years hardly ever testing and only taking in a sample once or twice a year. I guess that is how I got in this predicament, huh? Couldn't I just take a sample once a week to leslie and let them do the work? I have not seen my CYA level rise any as of yet, as indicated in a reply by Janet. I still have some black mold in the clip that seals the steps to the liner(will have to get in to scrub it out) and inside the outlet jets though. I am off until Sunday night now and can keep a closer check on it. Thanks for all the help everone. I will continue to post progress.
