I live in SW Arkansas and they have 10% liquid chlorine on sale for $2.50 at my Walmart. I was surprised they had it! They did NOT carry this last year. Maybe the BBB method is catching on here. ;)

Great, thanks...should I keep working up to 20 or just stay at 15 with CC of 0 and see if I can maintain at 15 before doing overnight test?

Thanks for the info...very informative so far! To answer your question Tim the pool was very swampy with lots of algae. So I shouldn't be using the packets of shock, just the liquid bleach? I have been using the 8.25% kind in conjunction with shocking. This is wrong? I will go test for CH right...
