Try using Firefox, and right-clicking, then "Save Link As"

I found I cant run an exe file without getting a lot of add ons in the meantime and firefox came on with imesh which I;m trying to get rid of

????. Not sure what sort of problems you have, but it appears they exist at your end.

iMesh is a file-sharing program, and should have NOTHING to do with this. Here's my recommendation:

1. Save any critical data you may have on your computer -- passwords, pictures, financial records.
2. Download a FRESH copy of Microsoft's free anti-virus program:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...tials-download
3. Uninstall any old anti-virus you may have.
4. Install "security essentials" and run a FULL scan (takes hours)
5. Try again, after removing any viruses.

If you can't download SE yourself, have someone else do it for you, put it on a CD, and install from there.

ok I downloaded Firefox...save as... then it sent me to download page and the download page is right back here. All I need to know is I am using the Pool Calculator daily and where it says add bleach I am putting in 12% since that is what my chlorine is from my pool store. If thats ok then i will get some bleach I know to be 3% and go from there. I really like the calculator. I find it to be a great tool

I am on an iPad and cannot download the file. If I have nearly 13000 gal and use 8.25% great value bleach, can you tell me the numbers? Sorry!

In your pool, each quart of 8.25% bleach will add about 1.6ppm of chlorine.

I am having the same problem with the link. I keep getting "unexpected error" from both IE and Firefox. Would running Windows 8 have anything to do with it? Frustrating. I need to bring my FC level of 3 up to my CYA level of 63. I don't know how much 8.25% of bleach to add. Also my CC is .5 If I add the amount of bleach I'm supposed to tonight, at what point can I add Borax to raise my pH level?

Like this:

1. Find your pool factor: Divide 120,000 by the gallons in your pool and round: 120,000/13,000 ~= 9.23 ==> So . . . your PF = 9

2. Use the following values: 3% bleach @ 8.4 lbs/gal; 6% bleach 8.6 lbs/gal; 8.25% bleach 8.8 lbs/gal

3. Calculate chlorine ppm per gallon for YOUR pool: => FC ppm = PF x lbs bleach x % => 9 x 8.8 x 0.0825 = 6.5 ppm.

So, you get about 6.5 ppm per gallon of 8.25% or 1.5 ppm per quart.

Ah! Thank you for showing me how to come up with the numbers. Watermom gave me my calculation but it's nice to know how she got it, too! I don't know why some of us can't use the link, but thank you for taking the time to write that out. You guys are great!!
