    Help! I can not clear up pool water

    I do have the K-2006. I used the 25ml (thanks for the info on the 10ml). Two scoops of R-0870. Then 10 drops of R-0870. Multiply by ooops! I used .02 instead of .2. So I have 2 for my FC and .2 for my CC (One drop to get the water from slightly pink to clear). Is 4 a good target for FC?

    Tested the Chlorine again this morning. Water looks real good. I have .2 for FC and .02 for CC Can test the CYA for a week. Added the Stabilizer yesterday. I'm to grasp how to switch over from Chlorine tabs to bleach. How easy is it to maintain with bleach and how do you know how much to add?

    The test was done before the stabilizer. I did not brush it around. I am guessing now I should. And for how long?

    Help! I can not clear up pool water

    Sounds real confusing. My neighbor keeps telling me if I put a salt water system on intex pool I don't have to worry anymore. Is this true or do I need to buckle down and learn the tricks of the trade?
