Help me in using the pool calculator

[JasonLion]

It is probably time to do a quick water testing review. When testing FC and CC, it is important that the sample go completely clear at the end of the FC portion of the test, before you start the CC portion of the test. Sometimes the sample can turn a very pale pink that looks almost clear. If you stop at that point, you can get a CC reading that is higher than the actual CC level. Now that the CC level is fairly low, the sample should stay clear for nearly a minute, so there should be time to look carefully to be sure that it is completely clear.

I think I have been careful and even have John tell me if he sees any pink, but I may need to wait longer in between the FC and CC. I will work on that and see if it makes any difference with the CC.
Thanks for the tips.

They should appear to the left of your message box. Simply click on one! :-D

If you don't see them, a setting in your User Profile needs to be changed, we can help with that so let us know if you don't see them.

You won't see them if you're using the quick reply window at the bottom of the thread either. If that's the case just click the "Post reply" button at the bottom left of the thread body and it'll take you to another page where they should be on the left side of the post window. If they don't, refer to FPM's post above.

You can also enter them manually in the quick reply window like I did this one. But that requires you remember the code for each one. I only remember a few.

Great news! at 7:00PM
FC at 10
CC at .5
So I need to add chlorine to reach 15 again, right? And then one more day at .5 or lower and the conversion is finished?
Then on to getting the water perfectly balanced?
