I have been using the 10 ml this whole time, just used 25 ml to get a more accurate value on CC

we are getting there! here are current readings: FC 13.6 CC 0.8 pH 7.0 TA 130 CH 200 CYA 40 I added enough chlorine to bring FC back up to 16 Just curious if the rest of the values should be considered now?

CC is 1 ppm which means I'm not done with SLAM, it was .5 for a day then jumped back up to 1.5 and now is down to 1 OCLT havent done yet

I know the piping is 1 1/2" in diameter and there are 1 skimmer and 2 jets. from what I have seen online the max gpm for 1 1/2" pipe is 42 gpm, I know the pump is rated for higher than 42 gpm, but being that there is only 1 inlet from the pool to the pump, I think that the gpm getting filtered...

so the pool is lighter and more blue, now there is a white film of sorts on top of the water looks like flat soap suds, any idea what it is?

here is the progress so far in color of water.

ok guys I am now out of bleach so I am heading back to the store. I had bought about 40 gallons of bleach for around $120. Starting to run low on cash, but I know I'm too far ahead and invested now. FC is some where around 14, ran out of reagent to test it, so getting more of that as well. Which...

ok thanks techguy
