How does your water look? I'd suggest using cal-hypo a little while longer to bring your calcium hardness reading up some. Did you and Ben ever agree on the volume of the pool? Either way -- you have a large volume pool and the best I can tell from a quick scan through this long thread is that you have added 3 lbs. of CYA and used a few pucks. Is that right? You're gonna need to get some CYA in there or it is going to be a pain in the rear to keep chlorine in this pool.

Did you fill in the pool chart like Ben asked you to do back in post #7? I looked in the chart, but unless I missed it, I didn't find your info. If you haven't done so, please add it. It helps people be better able to advise you.
