OK, so i already had put 5.2oz of SHOCK in my pool tonight. I will wait for tomorrow and add 1/4 gallon of bleach until I recieve my Taylor k2006. I should recieve it Wednesday.

For now, i used the cheap test strips that came with my hth kit...

it only measures 3 things....

FC: 1/2
PH 7.8
TA: 80

Hopefully we are doing ok for now.

More to come when i get my tester.

SHould i use anything in my HTH kit or was that just a waste of money? It has Stabilizer in it and chlorinating granules.
