I guess I need another bottle to raise the FC level above 20 again. Thanks for all the help!

I ran an OCLT last night and this morning: Last Night: FC: 16 CC: 1.5 This morning: FC: 15 CC: 1.0 The water was clear and I saw no signs of algae. The SLAM page indicates I should continue if CC is greater than 0.5. Should I continue the process?

Should I be aiming for a CYA of 50-60 then? Why so high?

I redid the CYA test, diluting it halfway with tap water. The readings look like somewhere between 50 and 60, so that would be around 100-120 for CYA? How does one go about draining an in-ground pool?

I've obtained my kit and I took the first readings this morning. In the meantime, I've been pouring a bottle of bleach (almost a gallon) into my pool each evening at around sunset (4 bottles so far in total). Here's what I've got: pH: 7.0 FC: 15ppm CC: 1ppm CYA: Off the charts. Seriously, the...
