You should download the small program called bleachcalc that was created by MW Smith, one of our forum members.

Here is the link http://home.earthlink.net/%7Emwsmith...achCalc262.exe

It will help you calculate your pool volume, and from there, let you put in numbers for how much bleach, borax, etc to add to make a given change in your water. Note: the numbers are for the change desired, not the end result.
EG if your free chlorine is 2 and you want to raise it to 5, you enter 3 ... the desired change. Real cool little program. It will help avoid situations like this.

Leave the cover off the pool to help lower the chlorine level.

Enjoy the clear water.
Thanks Brent,

You've been real helpful. I've got the program, it's really slick.

How do I know what my target values are that I am shooting for?

Thanks,
Rick
