For some reason my FC has shot up after adding the recommended amount. I'll check in the morning and see where I'm at.

FC 21
CC 1
PH 7.5
TA 220

Here are my numbers from this morning:
FC 15.5
CC 1.5
I'm going to say the PH is still 7.5 and TA 220

Added chlorine last night and checked levels:

FC 17
CC .5

Checked again this morning and levels were:

FC 14
CC 1.5

Should I continue to keep doing what I'm doing until CC levels out? Or should I change out my filter media in hopes that it helps put my CC levels at or below the .5 range?

Continue to do what you are doing and wait until you lose 1ppm chlorine, or less, overnight before you change filter media.

You're done shocking when:
1)You lose 1ppm or less FC overnight, & 2)You have .5ppm CC's or less, & 3)your water is clear.

Been away for a while. Wife just gave birth to our third child.

Conversion is complete. :party: Finished up last Friday night when I changed out the sand in the filter, installed a new pump and added CYA to the pool. I ran a complete check yesterday and the pool was completely balanced. First time all year.

Thanks for all the help. Now I need to have a Calcium Scale removal party. Previous owners let that get carried away.
