I want to follow your suggestions. I was just on the hunt for the 6-way testing kit and could not find it. I do not have a Walmart near me. I just went to ShopRite. I thought I needed to get a drops test to give you a reading of the water. I was afraid to not have anything in the pool. I don't know what to add to the pool at this point. I would appreciate any suggestions and help you can give me and understand your busy schedule. I didn't know if I should just start adding bleach tonight in the recommended dosage you have in the 7 day start up for intex type pools. Thanks for any help you may give.
