Ok, I am about at my wit's end! Tuesday night at 10pm reading was 24.5ppm FC. Wednesday morning at 6am reading was 24.5ppm FC. Zero overnight loss - yippee! No chlorine yesterday as I was going to let it drift down to a normal value of about 6ppm. However, this morning at 6:45 there was only 12.5 ppm chlorine in the pool which means I lost 12 ppm yesterday!!! What the **** is going on? Yesterday was hot and sunny all day and my pool gets about 8 hours a day of full on sun. My current numbers - FC 12.5 - CC 0 - PH 7.4 - TA 130 -CYA 40. I did the cya test like three times and was seeing reflections, etc. after multiple readings (plus loss of water due to evaporation since Sunday) I tended to think it was lower than I thought - perhaps closer to 30-35. I topped off with 1/2 jug stabilizer which should boost it by about 8ppm and I replaced the water
What to do now? What am I missing? Four days of slamming for nothing and I'm at a loss for how to proceed. Dumping bleach at the pool to keep shock levels at 4-6 jugs a day is getting old fast. Please help - what else should I be looking for? Water is crystal clear, and frustration is setting in - not to mention I'm going away in a week as well!
Thanks for any input.
