regarding my CYA level:
According to the pool calculator:
12,200 gallons
CYA 0 to 30 pool calc says add 49 oz to get to 30
OR 81 oz to get to 50, OR 90 oz to get to 55 (pool store test)
13,500 gallons
CYA 0 to 30 pool calc says add 54 oz to get to 30
13,900 gallons in my signiture and what I had been using is from the pool calculator "Estimating pool volume"
22 ft wide by 4.9 deep round ignores length.
CYA of 0 to 30, the calculator says to add 56 oz.
CYA of 0 to 45 add 84 oz.
MY CYA ADDITIONS:
Fri 22nd, 45 oz (in skimmer) my last test on 24th, black dot smaller diam, full tube (ordered more regent)
Fri 29th, 18 oz (sock in front of jet) regent came! before this addition, test result under 30 (dot disappears half way between 20 & 30.
Sun 1st, 24 oz (sock in front of jet) under 30 dot disappears half way between 20 & 30.
My Total CYA adds = 87 oz
Based on all my adds, the calc info (won't mention the store test of 55), my CYA should already be between 30 & 50, not under it.
Either my test method is flawed or I have xray vision.
This past Sat night is the only time it passed the overnight shock test, but it didn't on Sunday night. It's been clear to bottom for several days, but still sometimes a greenish tint in places and brown pockets collecting on the bottom.

1:30 am FC: 5.5 (added 99 oz of 12.5% ~ Crud! forgot to change the calc from 10% to 12.5%. Adjusting this should using 12,200 gallons take my FC between 13 & 14) Will wait, 30 minutes, test, go to bed and report those results in the morning.
My CC level was 1.0 only once, back on Sat morning, June 23rd. All other tests regardless of FC level have been 0 or .5
Happy 4th! No doubt most of you will be in your pools today. I will be too.
Just floating on top, or walking around to stir it up :-D
