I have the Taylor test kit, it always says I have a pH around 7.3 - 7.5 but when I take it to the store, the stores readings are always about .4 higher than my readings and my Cl readings are always 1-1.5 points lower than theirs, then again, i am looking at shades of pink and yellow, how accurate can that be vs. a computer. Should I shock with bleach or with the SWG?

I live in canada so my swg is only active 5 months of the year. or should I shock bleach it instead.

The general consensus here is to shock with bleach as it will save unnecessary wear and tear on your cell.

How do I know how much bleach to use to get rid of .2 CC?? based on a 15,000 gal pool.

Take a look at your SWG specs. Salt - 2900 ppm may be a little on the low side. The system will generate more chlorine at a lower setting with higher salt levels.

I have an Pentair IG20, the light indicates that it is still in the good salt range, I think its 2500-4000, I guess I could bump it up a little.
