Lol i got so excited when i was testing the water, it never took more than a few drops for it to turn clear, but as it past 20 drops thats when i got the mixed feeling, happy that i finally see some progress, worried that it might do some...

    new house with pool, what do I need to get started?

    Yah, that's what I been doing. Is draining the pool another option? The reason is I don't think I have enough time after work and chlorine supplies to go through this process, If draining, how much should I drain? Or I should get the ammonia tested? In the mean while, how much bleach...

    new house with pool, what do I need to get started?

    So I think I just made a big mistake. Today I lowered my pH to 7.2, then I added 144 oz to bring to FC to SLAM level of 10. I went to re-test after 10 mins, after 2 drop of R-0871 the water turned clear, thinking that was fast, I went back poured in another gallon of Bleach 8.25%, waited...
