During the spring I was stating my support for a program of mostly bleach or liquid chlorine most of the time and using Cal Hypo Shock on Sunday night after a long weekend of swimming. There were lots of Pros and Cons on for or against doing it that way...many people siding with FPM saying that I should not need to use the Cal Hypo...and others siding with me saying that if it was used once a week as a preventative, it was ok and what harm would it cause. Well I can honestly say that I have not used any Cal Hypo this year, and have only used bleach or as I am now using 12.5% liquid shock as it is called from The Great Escape...my local pool store. I have a much clearer pool and I have used nothing else. I have to say mom was right there really is no need to put the Cal Hypo in. As long as I maintain levels and test daily I am ok. Thanks FPM for setting me straight...One day I will learn never ever ever to question your knowledge again. 
..Thanks for saving me the extra money!!!

Monday then hit the pool before some baggage, and then we hit the creek in the tubes for 4 hours yesterday. IT was awesome. Rained last nite though, so no fire.
