Bleach..How Much is TOO much

[aylad]

What's your CYA level, and how many gallons?

You're going to have a hard time getting enough bleach in there to fade the liner while there's algae present, but how much is enough to kill the algae is a different question.....

Thanks Janet...
My Taylor regents are on their way....So I do not know the CYA at this point, however, i'm holding the Chlorine PPM numbers overnite (pump running), so the assumption is that i have "some" CYA....
I threw this question out there for I remember reading one of Ben's post concerning the PPM vs. Faded liner equation....(I read it when I was turning over from Baquacil)...

If you exceed the shock level for the CYA level you have in the water, you run the risk of fading your liner. The more you exceed it, the higher the risk.
