For Meijer Mperks members, I received a coupon in the mail for $10 off $25 worth of HTH products. Meijer has 4x 1 gallon of 12.5% for $12.50. So, end result is 8x 1 gallon for $15 (+ tax).

Menards put out their ad today which includes 4x 1 Gallon Swim Shock 12.5% for $9. My Math puts that at $.14/oz http://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/po ... =weekly_ad

I verified it, tested twice. Brand new kit from Amazon. I'm thinking I just tested to soon, or my first test was way off.

OK, so I didn't really believe my numbers had changed so much. Ran the pump for another several hours and rechecked and I'm glad I did; FC - 0 CC - 0 PH - 8 Alkalinity - 100 Calcium - 280 CYA - 35 At this point, I'm going to add the Bleach and check it in the morning. I'll do Muratic Acid in...

So, at the end of the day my levels are; FC =2 cc =2 ph =8 alk =90 calc =375

So it looks like I'm going to add about 9.5lbs of Baking Soda. Do I run it for a while before I add the bleach, or do I do these at the same time? At what point should i add the CYA? Thanks for the help.
