Got my Taylor K-2006 test kit yesterday!

Thanks for your help!

I got the water capacity from the intex website, I am assuming since the walls of the pool slope inward the equation for volume can't be used.

I added 3 lbs of baking soda and 1 cup of borax yesterday. This mornings readings are
FC 2 added 1 1/2 cups
CC 0
pH 7.2 added 1/2 cup borax
TA 90

Okay, that makes sense about the water capacity.

The TA looks good now. I'm glad you added some borax as the pH could come up a little. The amount of bleach to add will be trial and error for a little while. You want to keep it between 3 and 6 ppm and you'll soon learn how much bleach that takes each day.
