Re: Alleged hydration stains.
To all those who have helped,
After adding 3 jugs of bleach on 4/19/09 mid afternoon, I checked the FC via home test kit in the PM and was at approximately 10 ppm, Im not sure if it was higher since my kit only goes up to 10. Today, 4/20/09, I went to Warehouse to test my water since I dont have the ability to read above 10 FC. Prior to shocking the numbers were as posted a few postings back.
Today the numbers are as follows:
FC 2
TC 2
CC 0
PH 7.6
TA 90
CYA 75
Water is very clear. Ill post pics shortly.
I guess my question is it normal for the FC to drop from 10 to 2 in approximatley 24 hrs? Prior to shocking the FC was 0 and the CYA 30. Also, we had severe rain prior to shocking the pool.
Should I shock again if my water is clear?
Also, I didnt have vitamin C to rub on my stain issue and was adivsed to use a lemon. After rubbing a lemon on a couple of the stains, no change. Was using the lemon the same as using vitamin C? I guess next I need to place a chlorine tab on the stain to see if its metal.
Thank you to all that apply.
