mjones,

You would do much better to start your own thread so you can get the help you need.

You will not have too much luck testing with strips. post your test results from a drops-based kit and we can give you help.

That "outdoor" Clorox you used is not wise....you are putting stuff in your pool that is not helping you....post for FC, CC, CH, pH, Alk, and CYA.
