Intex Owner 15' x 48" overwhelmed

[ATC_NH]

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

They do make a liquid CYA but it is quite expensive. I always just buy the granular.

You can find Borax in the laundry aisle at Walmart. 20 Mule Team Borax is what you are looking for. (It is in the laundry aisle but is not soap.)
