The good news is I started adding dichlor last evening. pH has become more stubborn (before I got the dichlor, actually)... it wants to hover around 7.0. So not terrible -and I think I am going to conquer that.

Anyway - my real issue is that the dichlor seemed to bleach the bottom of the liner where I dropped it in last night. I wasnt running the pump. SO I am probably a dummy all together. Should I be mixxing it with a bucket first - or just spreading it evenly as much as I can?

Thanks!
