I found this brand of bleach at tractor supply, is it worth using? A-1 Bleach 5.25% http://www.foodservicedirect.com/produc ... -Ounce.htm

OH! Can I order just a few water test liquids I am running out of? Like the R-0013 and R-o871 without getting a new kit? TF-100 kit. Where do I order from ?

TC - 5 pH - 7.5 T/A - 60 CH - 160 CYA - 0 Added conditioner the other day, no effect yet so I added the rest today for CYA. I did pool calc and should add baking soda to raise the T/A right? Do I need to add something to increase calcium or can I leave it alone? Thanks!

Shaking my head! back to getting chems straight guys! I turned the valve thing, after reading other posts, we have a slide and stuff and I don't really get which way to have it turned so the PIPE WAS CLOSED! ALL GOOD NOW, SUCTIONING AND SKIMMING NICELY! So should I add some trichloro, does...

the FC I tested right after I dumped 2 gallons of bleach in and had put 4 last night when opened. Didn't have test kit out yet and just wanted to start shocking. Water is green, cant vacuum with so suction. Another question, if any suggestions my hubby dropped a piece of firewood on the green...

Hmm..well I cant get to the store until tonight when the husband gets home from work for stabilizer:( I do have some trichloro pucks from years past, wouldn't they add some CYA? I also have muriatic acid. Then again until I figure out why the skimmer line doesn't suck it wont do much sitting...

Main concern is I don't feel suction in the skimmer hole or when I try to vacuum to waste. What should I do? I just opened last night, have 3 kiddos under 5 so doing the best I can brushing and testing. This is 3rd year with poo forum, would think I know everything but feels new each year...

Just opened and thick algae! Bought bleach but only had this new concentrated form...doesn't smell very strong but just want to confirm its still good to use? I know I read the splashless version is no good since it is more like gel.

IS it ok to swim when pool is still slightly cloudy?

Great, just dumped in a whole bottle! Have to take the other 3 back!

I am beginning to see the bottom stairs! Whats up with the new bleach, I got some at walmart and its the "splash free", its sort of like a gel. Is this still good to use?

I think I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! It is slow!

Still cloudy! :cry:

The filters are the big round things near the bottom of the deep end right? The pump seems to be fine! After getting a new vaccuum tip it sucks great, sticks to bottom and I have to pull off so pressure must be good! I have backwashed when pressure up, just did yesterday after vaccuuming!
