Watermom,

Thanks.

I was getting a little overwhelmed reading all the info that comes with the taylor test kit.

I was getting a little to wrapped up with getting the water "balance".

I plan to "shock" the pool with bleach, to bring up the FC and burn off the CC if I understand what I have been reading correctly.

Do they make a liquid for CYA? I have the powder which I have been putting in a sock and then suspending in front of the return. The powder takes a long time to dissolve.

Also, where in a store like walmart would I find the borax? I know they make a laundry soap, but I don't believe that is what I am looking for.

Thanks
