I have been shocking my pool for over a week. I still am having 4-5 ppm chlorine loss overnight. I am getting tired of buying 12 bottles of bleach at a time. Shock level for our pool is 18. By morning I am down to 14 usually. Then I start the process over and add to get my level back up. Help...

Ok....Another question about shock and FC/CC. My FC level is 5 this morning and when I went to bed it was 17. CC is .5 My water is crystal clear. Am I done shocking when I can maintain FC level of my recommended 5-7 without losing more than 1 ppm overnight or when I can maintain shock level of...

Once CC is .5 or less, how long do you keep the water at a shock level? Do you just let it fall to FC level recommended (in my case FC level recommended is 5-7 for CYA of 60)?

I added the recommended amount of liquid chlorine last night and today FC=1 and CC=1. From what I read and have always done.....I should be shocking after sun goes down to prevent loss. While I am shocking this pool, should I be doing this during the day as well or stick to evening. Where is all...

Hoping it doesn't take too long. We live in Ohio and we are limited with pool time. Thank you! The pool is clear... I just have the FC and CC issue. Just checked chemicals: ph 7.4 FC 1 CC 1 TA 110 CYA 55-60

How long does it take to get the CC down to .5 or less with my current CC of 2? I am still unsure about whether it is safe to swim with shocking or not (got 2 different opinions above).

So is it safe to swim with FC level up in the 16-18 range during shock? How long will it take to get FC level down to 5-7 then as maintenance range?

CYA level is now 60 after drain/refill. However my FC is 1 and CC is 2 today. I added 3 gallons of 10% Chlorine. I used the Pool Calculator and it only suggested 1.6 gallons. This confuses me because of what I read about shocking. I am assuming that I want my FC level to be 5-7....correct? I am...

Thank you for all the advice. I will let you know how it turned out!

We are located in Ohio. I have had a hunch for about a week that we need to drain/refill ASAP. But, wanted to register on here and get advice. This is a great forum!!! We will start the drain/refill process tomorrow. How long do we wait in between draining and refilling for the next drain/refill...

I am new to the BBB method and have been studying hard to figure it all out. I am doing strip tests and bought a cheap kit from wal-mart. My problem is that I read great information on here about what my levels should be and then the bioguard test at the pool store has different ranges. And...
