Hi Anna - thanks for checking.

Unfortunately, I ran out of Chlorine reagent and won't have any for probably close to a week. Last I checked (yesterday morning), I still had 1 ppm combined chlorine. I'm operating in the dark, right now. I know my free chlorine was well above 7 ppm this am, because I ran out of reagent after 14 drops - but still had a very pink sample.

The closest pool store (30 mins away) only does CL and TC - and the last time they did it - it was way off from my Taylor test, so I"m not even going to bother.

My pH was 7.4 and my CYA was down to 35. My calcium was about 240 yesterday, so I switched to bleach (was using cal hypo because my calcium was down around 50 - I know it doesn't really matter in a vinyl pool - but figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone).

I added about a half-gallon of 5.25% bleach this am, presuming my CL was down around 15-17 and may still have that 1 ppm cc.

I hate not knowing what's going on in there! ;oP

Is it OK for my kids to swim in it, you think?
