Adding the bleach is a stop gap procedure at best. The first thing you should do is order one of the
recommended test kits. Don't bother looking for one locally. Almost no stores carry the FAS-DPD kit you need.
While you wait the couple of days for your kit to arrive you need to be reading Pool School. There are a lot of moving parts to pool care, but the nice ting is that once you understand how it all works it is just a few minutes a day to keep a sparkly clear pool.
Once you get your test kit you need to verify your CYA level. At close to 100 you are going to have difficultly clearing the pool. Read about the CYA/chlorine relationship in Pool School.
You will be conducting a
SLAM before this is over with.
We want to help you, but you have to understand how it all works. Reading, asking questions and understanding is the key.
If you feel you have to do something add that gallon of bleach every day until you are ready to SLAM.
