Thanks bridgman. I'm on the verge of dumping in 25L of liquid chlorine tonight to see if it will help until I get the kit. I dumped in 10L last night, and used powder shock a couple of days ago. It has lightened up a bit, and is kind of a greenish blue now, so maybe I'm making blind progress...

Outside of getting my test kit (apparently harder in Canada, can't find the recommended ones), what can I do next? If CYA Is a Non-factor for me, what can I do to raise my bromine level so it can kill algae? I must admit, it has gotten a little lighter shade of green over he past 2 days. I...

Ok so CYA is not a factor for me. I'm having a hard time keeping my Total Bromine above 1ppm. My TA is around 110, and PH is around 7.3.

I was just at Crappy Tire, they have the 5L bottles of Liquid Chlorine for 3.99$. How many is it worth it to buy? Not sure if they go bad..

Thanks everyone. However, I'm still curious how the bromine will affect the formulas and quantities when trying to balance my pool. Since everything I read on this forum is referring to chlorine, free chlorine, etc.. I'll wait until someone can chime in on the bromine thing. Thanks again.

Stupid question, but are you basically saying I don't need the chlorinator? If I stop using Bromine, I would dump liquid bleach in to keep my FC at an acceptable level?

I moved here last year, I just continued using what the old owners used. Is switching as simple as switching to Chlorine tablets instead of Bromine tablets? I have a chlorinator device.

Thanks for the reply! How about this kit: http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-K-2106-FAS-DPD-Bromine-Complete/dp/B0002IXIIQ Also, almost everything I've read is referring to Chlorine (ie: FC). Is there anything I need to be aware of since I use bromine?

I just found the SLAM procedure ion the Pool School section. I will give this a shot, however I need to get a reliable test kit. Right now I use strips, but when I want exact numbers, I just take a sample to my pool store around the corner. Question, does it make any difference that my pool...

Hi all, I'm new here and to pool maintenance in general so please excuse my ignorance with certain things. This is the first spring I've lived in this house, and opened the pool. Over the winter, it turned into a swamp. I'm having a real hard time getting the water to clear up. I've spent...
