That's crazy! I will clean my testing stuff. I do have some scaling falling off walls onto floor that I keep having to vacuum it up. Would that cause me to fail?
New kit! Real numbers. Now what??

I'm getting frustrsted. I tested FC at 8:30 and it was 12.5 I added about 60 oz of bleach the Walmart brand and an hour later it was 21.5 did I test too soon or did I just really mess up one of the tests? Feeling discouraged.
Check the water depth and recalculate volume. Also be sure you picked the right strength bleach.passionsrlz said:
Finally, note that when you add the powder and mix it, there should be one or two granules undissolved before you start counting drops. If you skimped a little, the first test might have been artificially low.
At any rate, you didn't overdose it too bad.
Thanks for the quick responses. Costing me a fortune keeping my FC level so high I really feel like I should be passing overnight test. I will measure depth of pool tomorrow and get a more accurate depth. I almost passed four days ago and feel like I am losing control. Should I not even bother with the overnight test in the morning?
I would test it again tonight and see what the FC is ... then try it in the morning.
Do you have the Speedstir? It really does make the testing easier if you do not.

I do not have speed stir but sounds like I need to invest. So test tonight again but not in the morning? And I can't thank you enough for all the support!
Just tested FC 18.5 CC 0 lost 4.5 FC. I have no idea what I do next. I don't let FC drop u scrub and vacuum to waste pool is beautiful. And since I have had my kit 10 days ago I have had 0 CC. I don't know what else to do.
Tested again at 10:30 and was at FC 16.5 and it is overcast and stormy no sun. I guess there is just something in my pool that I'm not seeing or killing. 
Seems I am losing 3ppm every 4 hours or so. Here is a full set of results
FC 10
CC 0
pH 7.6
TA 40
CH 100
FC 10

Should I raise my cya? I still feel like something is wrong and I can't figure it out.
You may want to when you complete the shock process ... but doing so no will just raise the required FC levels.
We got to get you to pass the OCLT.

I am sooooooo frustrated. Losing more overnight than I was a week ago. I will leave cya alone for now but I can think of a single thing I'm not doing.
I have a silly question. I was at 10 FC at 6:30 and added enough to get me to 15, I tested again at 10:30 and was still at 15 does that mean it held????
