Oh geez!!! I re-read that link more clearly and several times through.

Uggg!! I added stabilizer. But only a small amount. 1 lb for a 6000g pool.

Anyway, yes, yes , yes pool smells after adding bleach. The first 1-1/2 gallon to bring the level to 10ppm got ate up quickly. Just tested again. Its evening and was 7.5 so added some to bring it up. Probably in the morning the the chlorine will be gone and I will adjust the PH then.

Hmm, all makes sense why my CYA kept getting ate up last yr and it took tons of bleach to clear. And a long time mind you. Could I ask is this all from letting the pool get green through the winter by not covering properly?

Anyway just here stating my status. It makes me feel better.
