i found them last night on someones signature and gonna start using them..... i went out to take pics of the pool but hubby hit a wrong button on my nikon and now i cant get the pics to take that i want
The pool itself is safe up to mustard shock level. I'd keep adding same as you have been today. If the reagent will be there tomorrow, it's unlikely you'll dose past mustard shock level in one day.
The only thing im testing right now is FC and CC...a few told me to stop testing ph until i get the shock test passed

Frog,
only the last two tests have ran the same of having to put in 18 ozs. ive been keeping a journal. the test before the last two i had 17.5. I also have not added any salt and the SWG is still turned off
Half an ounce isn't going to make or break much of anything. I'd just stick with 18oz for simplicity sake. My point was that if you keep up the same or similar dosages/times today it's unlikely that you'll overdose the pool. Mustard algae shock level is significantly higher than normal shock level, yet still safe for your pool. You have room to err on the side of caution today.
If you run out of reagent completely, you can try diluting the OTO (yellow chlorine) test to check, but at 20ppm you'd have to dilute it by 3 parts and the accuracy of such a dilution is suspect.

thank you this is what we are doing now...but im not good at chemistry and the last part you said makes no sense to me lol
just a short update on the pool...my chlorine reagent refill still hasnt come. But we are sooooo excite to see the bottom of the pool better than what it was in the last couple of days. I will post more and numbers when i can. thanks again
Seeing improvement should increase your POP a little. Good job keeping it going enough to see results!
PLEASE PRAY CHLORINE REAGENT COMES TOMORROW so i can start testing again..its driving me insane not being able to test my pool!!!is there a way to get a pic from my iphone to here? photobucket is down
Google "image hosting" and a number of free hosting sites will show. Then, you can insert the image url here (use image tags, in full editor) from whichever image host you chose. It doesn't matter which one, as long as you can get a url.
i will just wait until tomorrow and take the camera outside and take better pics so you can see some kind of progress
If you'd lie I can send you google pus invite and goggle will host them for you for free
Techguy, I've read a lot of your posts. Very informative and quite professional. But I think you must have been drunk when you wrote the above post!! 
Hope I'm not offending you, as it started my day with a chuckle!!

When I use the iPad, it does some crazy auto-spell corrections. I guess I need to check my work.LOL
No offense taken, it's actually funny when you attempt to read it. I think I will leave it as is.
