AHA!!! I thought I had ordered a refill kit last summer - found it. It had a small bottle of R13 so I rechecked my water with that and still can see the black dot when the tube is full!! The kit is stored inside my house - so the reagents should be good huh? I added about 15 oz of muriatic acid. So should I get stabilizer & get that going so I can start the slam? I could go over to Wal Mart & get some. And Pool Math is telling me 178 oz. of stabilizer - does that sound right?
Wow, those are GREAT prices. We don't have an Atwood's in Houston and I can't find CL or MA for that cheap anywhere. Keep loading up the CL and your pool will soon be clean.Oh - went up to Atwood's and bought 20 gallons of 10% chlorine for $1.88 a gallon & muriatic acid for $2.88. WooHoo!!!!
You may want to add some DE to your sand filter to help filter better. I'm not sure how often you may need to backwash your sand filter as I have a DE filter but it's pretty often with a DE filter as the pressure builds up quickly as it's filtering out crud.
