Ok TFP I'm back with some accurate test numbers using my new Taylor K-2006 kit FC- 4.0 CC- 1.0 PH- 8.0 ALK- 210 CYA- 30 CALCIUM HARDNESS- 250

Am I going to have to add bleach and stabilizer daily until I get my test kit ?

yes sorry the manufacture states that the pool water gallons is 3300, but iI found the formula to find out pool capacity for a round pool which is diameter X diameters X depth X 5.9 which if i input my numbers it gives me 4047 which i round down to 4000. Do you think i should just go with the...

thank you jblizzle.....I think I got it now, 25 oz of chlorine and 16 oz of chlorine stabilizer...
