    The water looked very clear.
    Clear, not greenish - hooray!

    The FC level remains somwhere around 10.
    This is with OTO? Has the K-2006 arrived?

    I am not sure when I want to start looking at the remaining water chemistry and making sure that is under control. I might wait a little while yet until it is closer to when we will start to use the pool.
    With the dark cover off , sunlight will start consuming chlorine. You'll need to, at least, pay attention to chlorine level and pH. A pound and a half of stabilizer should put your CYA about 30; at this level, maintain 3-6ppm FC.

    No. In fact UPS says a shipping label was created but they have not recieved anything yet. I think I need to cancel and get it somewhere else.

    No. Ebay.
    I think I am going to cancel if possible and get it from one of the sig's here. Do you know who I can look up?

    Check out this page: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...ight=test+page The K-2006 is $47 at Amato right now which is less than I paid.
