50,000 Gallon Monkey On My Back

[korinian]

I'm now officially a bleach convert. Just thought I'd post my numbers throughout the opening of the pool. The pool is sparkling clean now. I don't know if this will help anyone else with a big pool or not. Thanks again to everyone for their help in this conversion.

I only had enough stuff to test CYA once. CYA was 100 on 4/15/06. I'm waiting on the new kit.
