Frustrated with algae and chlorine

[mnhwinn]

The link takes me to an area which says I don't have permission to be in.......

try www.amazon.com and then search for the Taylor k-2006 test kit. (You don't want the K-2005, make sure it's the dpd-fas kit).

But, if she/he just goes to amazon.com, I'm not sure PF gets the donation.

I had Ben check into this problem for you and he thinks you should now be able to see the page. But, the link on the page to Amazon is broken, meaning you can't click on it and have it open to Amazon. But, you can copy and paste the link into a browser window and get there that way. Let us know when you try again if you were able to see the page.

Yes, great, was able to get to it that way....

One more question - should I wait for the kit to arrive before starting to dump in the bleach? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to moniter a chlorine leverl over 3ppm with my kit.

[Watermom]

No, don't wait. You can use your cheap kit in the meantime and force it to go higher with a dilution method until your kit arrives. Read more about it in this thread:

Ok, will start dumping my massive amounts of bleach in tonight. Will keep you posted.... thanks so much for your help!

[mnhwinn]

sorry! One more question: do I take out the chlorine floater with the tabs in it?

[mnhwinn]

Ok, added 4 gallons of bleach last night, left the pump running all night and day and is still currently on. Was unable to test the water until this evening when I got home from work. CL level test this evening is 0.3!!! Where do I go from here? Should I add another 4 gallons, and test every 4 hours? Problem is, I'm at work for a majority of the day - including tomorrow.
