I'm leaving for the weekend -- my wife has been glaring at me -- so very briefly:
+ Stop using trichlor; use bleach
+ Read the Best Guess page, linked in my signature
+ Get a Taylor 2006 or 2006C (link in sig) from Amazon -- but if seller is not "Amato Industries" wait a day and order when they've restocked.
+ Chloramine fill water is not your problem
+ Use borax -- whatever it takes -- to cycle your pH above 7.0, but stop with the washing soda.
+ Read http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/lowe...p-by-step.html for UNDERSTANDING, but don't try to dupe the process there.
+ Instead, raise your pH to 7.0, then let it drift down to below 7.0, then repeat WITH BORAX
+ Let us know what the results are after a week; include K2006 test results. Test your CYA with a 1:1 dilution of pool water to grocery store distilled water.
