    Thanks! I'll add the bleach tomorrow. Just got the pump going again and leaving it run tonight!
    Still to cold here to swim, so I am in no rush to get the pool ready other than I am tired of looking at green water!
    It's a pale green though, and I can see the bottom of the pool. Doesn't look as bad this year as it did last year! No leaves because we had such a wonderful winter and pool didn't freeze over until all leaves were done falling! Got them all out before the pool froze!
    Even though it is June, our temperature here have been low teens! Just Gross!

    Ok...I just bought some bleach from Walmart...Each jug is 3.6L and 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite.
    They were only 1.17 a jug!
    I put in 2 of them and also 2 boxes (500g) of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.
    I hope that was correct! Crossing fingers and anxiously awaiting change
    Watermom did I calculate that right?
    tks

    I strongly urge you to get the good test kits Mary. That's the only way to see if what you keep adding is the right amount.

    chem geek (Richard) took the time to find and list several sources for our Canadian posters.

    Without the results from those accurate test kits, some people might hesitate on advising what to add next.
    Why BBB? Because money can't buy happiness, but saving it sure can!
