    Thanks guys. (whoops, and girl )

    One other question, I have access to 20% Sodium Hypochlorite from work, would that be too strong for the vinyl liner?

    Temps finallly broken into the upper 70's today, the wife and I are getting excited to open it up.

    I'm thinking I'll use a weeks vacation from work to convert, and finish the landscaping around the pool and deck, so I can stay on top of it and get it done quickly.

    You can always dilute it. Take a 5 gallon bucket and if you put 3 gallons of water in it, then add one gallon of 20%, you'll have 5%--same as laundry bleach--and the 4 gallons will be like adding 4 gallons of bleach.

    But be very, very careful. 20% is tricky stuff, will burn you, burn through clothes and shoes in an instant. Even nominal 12% (tests at 14-14.5) can damage anything it touches. BTW, 1 ml of your chlorine in 10 liters of water is the same concentration as in a pool and allows you to measure its strength. (10 liters is 5 soda bottles).
