how do i figure out how much bleach to use?

I bought a salt water chlorinator last year for my intex pool. Worked great. I just set it up again this year. its been running on boost for 8 hours and my chlorine level is 0. I did the cleaning with vinegar as it says in the manual and its been running for a few hours on boost again and...

Ok so outside my home there are 2 plug ins. Because of the way they face and because both my intex pump and swg have those big plugins I had to get an extender. I spoke to a peoson at the local Home Depot and they assured me the one they sold was perfect for this use. So both pumps are plugged...

This year u bought a brand new intex sand filter pump and also a separate SWG. been working fine for a month..the past week I've had a couple days where i go out and the pump isn't running. i reset it and works fine...now tonight i went out and nothing..it won't reset. I've tried everything..is...

Ok filled the pool, everything is running..salt is in and its doing the initial boost on the SWG. my water hardness TH is ready a 0, do i need to do anything for this? or just leave it

With the swg when I put up the pool and fill it do I add my cya first then the salt in the pool? Then check ph and all that?

opening pool with SWG Hi, I've had an intex pool for the past 2 years 15"x 42inches. have always ended up with green pool despite my desperate attempts to keep it clean. I've just purchased a new stronger sand filter pump and salt water generator. as i find this all overwhelming and seem to be...

It shows only 8 tests. That's a lot of money to spend for only 8 test.

Do you have any idea how many cya tests I'd get from this kit?

Do you think buying the kit off amazon would be ok? I found This one..then I guess I just have to find one for the salt, is that right.

With the k-2006 kit how many tests do you get for cya? im trying to figure out which out I should get. As I am in Canada they are hard to find and expensive. Why do no Canadian stores carry a test kit for CYA? I don't get it. - - - Updated - - - Lowry sells Taylor products in Canada. They...

I have an intex 15ft by 42" pool. Always having issues with algae. Was running a cartridge pump and chlorine. Last year I learned about cya on here emptied my pool and went to bleach. Still had a green pool. I need to get the good test kit. Planning on having it for this summer. Im looking to...

Sorry hate posting my negative blubbery. Just so depressed over this where I am I have basically 3 months of pool time and we've lost 2 so far. I may have 2 weeks left if I'm lucky. What I find so odd is that after I drained the pool scrubbed it and filled within a day it was green but not...

So the pool has been full on green for quite a few days. I know I don't have the proper testing kit but I have slammed the water and nothing for days. I'm so frustrated. I refilled the pool which is going to cost me big time and we got one day out of it. Started to wonder if it's even worth...
