    IDK? Filter pressure is good.. I guess i could try it.. I missed the deep clean thing.. Search it when i have time... I've read on here with about 80 you need to have a higher FC residual but you dont lose as much during the day... Cant get that to happen .... Gotta add 85 oz / day......where r...

    What i mean is shouldn't it be holding more FC with each dose? It seems to just hover between 22-25.. Not gaining any ground...Im adding 31But the next time i test the Fc wont rise any higher than 22-25.. Think you misunderstood me.Last year the FC held after 3 days of slamming..with the same...

Need to refill my tanker truck.. Have a nice Sunday! Would it go faster if i kept FC at 35 or 39? Or is that just...

    Yes.. I did 100% and dilute... I do have trouble with it though.. I'll do it again today.. Will it be accurate with the FC so high? I guess if it doesnt get better my CYA is over100....

    What if my CYA is higher than i think it is??? I assume it would take longer or not work at all???? Should i add enough to bring it up to 39... Shock value for 100?? Being the pool was clear would it take this long??? Light niche is clean.. And no ladders
