After finally getting my new Pump and filter ( Hayward Xstream 1hp pump and cartdridge filter) of course im tring to get my chemicals right. I added some chlorine and algacide to it before my pump came so it didnt turn to a swamp. After filling (13,500total) Filled maybe 9000. First step was getting the chlorine to stay up. I got some cya and added 1lb for 3000 gal manufacturs specs. Poured in slowly threw skimmer to desolve and added i think 112 oz bleach what pc recommended. Nxt morning tc was 4.5. Next evening its back to 0. I dont get it ph is 7.5 got that down from 8.0 but why ist the chlorine staying in. Do i really have to add that much bleach daily. Or i did read 2 much algecide kills chlorine. Idk need any ideas thx First Season
