Raising Free Chlorine levels with Bleach

[Deadduck]

Great, thanks so much for the information. Yes, am planning to get the Taylor 2006 kit.

So adding the bleach, just pour in the pool in various places or what? Also, what do you do if you are going to be gone for a week if you don't have tablets in the skimmers? Just get the chlorine level high before you go?

Thanks again!

I usually just pour it slowly into my skimmer while the pump is running and then be sure to leave the pump running for several hours afterward to let it get mixed in well. if you are going on vacation, you can shock the pool before you go and then if possible, ask a neighbor to stop by a couple times during the week and pour in a little bleach for you.

1. You can stop using tabs for the most part, but still use them in the skimmer while gone.

2. Read the info about the chlorine / CYA relationship => http://pool9.net/cl-cya/ It *definitely* applies to your situation.
