Baking soda - too much?

[Watermom]

Talked to Ben -- your trichlor should be fine to use. Just be careful to watch your pH closely and be ready to add Borax. Also, monitor your CYA level every week or so. Not too often or you'll run out of testing reagent.

Thanks so much for your help and info! I'll bring that algaecide back to Walmart, btw. From reading here it seems like just a little bit of monitoring and prevention saves you a ton of trouble and work, so I'll be sure to keep the levels where they should be and not let problems start.

Thanks again. My pool is just a little dinky one but perfect for my 19-month-old twins, me, and a husband overheated from 3 hours on his mower!
