    Ascorbic question

    Thanks, I appreciate your reply. The chlorine is starting to hold now and I think the next time it's half way warm out I'll clean it. Hope the stains stay gone this time. Have you any experience with the CuLater metal remover?

    FC 2 CC 17

    Hi guys, I wanted to let you know how things are looking. GREAT. After 12 gal 12% chlorine added many times throughout 2-3 days maintaining the 20 ppm target as best I could, it looks like we win. FC now maintained 3-5 ppm, little if any overknight loss. CCs .5 ppm, so good to be back in...

    FC 2 CC 17

    Hey guys, I'm shocking, added 2 1/2 gals of 12% per calculator to raise the FC to 20. FC onky went to 13 and my CC went from 10 to 16. I added another gal of 12% per calc, and FC went to 17 and CC went to 24. I added 2/3 a gal and now FC is 18 and CC is 30. Put in the rest of the jug (1/3) and...

    Thanks, that is what I thought. I didn't feel comfortable going to 170 ppm wihout some advice. 20 ppm sounds reasonable and by keeping it up surely the CC and any algae should disappear. Thanks

    Also, If the chloromenes arn't completlly gone, as in less than .5, when and how often do you recomend reshocking? You know I soppose I am a novice, I have owned my pool for 12 years now and behind the lines I have learned so much from your site. I'm pretty much BBB and usually run a 3-5 ppm...

    FC 2 CC 17

    Hi, I used Jacks Magic #2 (copper and scale stuff) to remove stains in my 16,000 gal gunite pool. They say use total chlorine readings because the stuff messes with FC readings. I did. After a month of no FC readings and plenty of TC, I became worried and called Jacks help line. I was instructed...
