No, I think FPM and I are in agreement with you....we just sorta' bypassed that step since you had already acknowledged it.

In truth, you could probably let your FC start to drift down (the CC will likely reduce in time) but I think it's much, much better to hold the high level of FC until you meet that .5 ppm CC guideleine.

ALLLLLLL ridey then.

Cool thank you. I will say that so far I have been very happy with the results and that becuase of you folks things have been extremely easier and easier to understand. Although not finished and not finished posting, I wanted to thank you all.

Well its been a couple days, yesterday was day 1 of swimming Since I was riding around on my motorcycle on Sunday. Did my test yesterday and the FC was at 4.5 ppm so of course topped it off with 28oz of bleach to get it to 5ppm. CC=.5 which is fantastic. I also started testing for the other important items and all are within good numbers with the exception of PH and that is only because I am having a hard time reading the Red, but I will get it figured out. Now my plan is to do a test each day and get an average so I can spread out my testing.

So far so good, thanks for all the help.

Your welcome. Enjoy your pool.

We hope you'll stay on the forum and begin to teach others. Yours was a longer than normal process so someone new may benefit from your experience. At the least, you can remind them to be patient.

Dave,

Thanks, yes I will continue to hang around, I continue to learn something new when I visit.
