Glad you crested the hill so quickly. "More bleach!!!" shouts the peanut gallery....
Don't know. The statement above is correct if there's nothing in the pool to consume the chlorine. Organics (or other compounds that need to get oxidized) may not show up as CCs. It takes what it takes.Jerry Lee said:With that said, does that mean with CC's around 1 it will take approx. 50 oz. of 6% to raise FC 1ppm?
Unfortunately rain can effect it....but I am pulling for you. Rain can bring in organics and, if there is alot, it can dilute your pool water. If the rain does effect you will want to do the OCLT again tomorrow night.Jerry Lee said:Last test for the night...
FC- 18.5
CC- .5
Hope the rain doesn't effect it.
I wouldn't say 4 days was a very long time.doublewide6 said:This seems like a very long process.
The only advice I would have, only being a novice, is when beginning the shock process, as long as your filter is turning over properly, is to test maybe every half hour instead of hourly. Whatever was in my pool was turning the FC into CC almost immediately. If I would have added more bleach every half hour, I probably would have gotten to that target FC shock target much sooner.I have have some CC and am wondering if I should start out my FC target on level higher on the grid to stay ahead of the CC. So in this case would things of moved along much faster using 24 as a target rather than 20? And, checking hourly? Good luck getting your pool balanced, you are winning the battle now.
