ok this is my first official year on BBB and i started out last week uncovered my pool it was green and leafy so i started up the filter and everything and sucked all i could see and get and started dumping in bleach i was at 40ppm CYA so i figured a 15ppm FC should be my shock so i put in 6 jugs of bleach during the day i put in 2 more at night my TF test kit was not in yet until Thursday so i had to test with the old 5ppm FC test so i was not sure if i was getting up there so i just kept guessing and putting more bleach in about 2 every day and now my TF test kit is in and yesterday i got a reading of like 2ppm so i went out and got another round of bleach and poured that in there and i tested again this morning and it was back to 2ppm so i poured another 7 jugs this morning and i just now tested and i am getting a FC of about 6 so that brings my total bleach in the pool for one week of opening to about 30 jugs IS THIS NORMAL OR is it just because i didn't have accurate test and didn't have it high enough so i kept loosing the algae fight?? How much do you guys usually use for opening or shocking? My pool did clear up some but its still kinda green so 2mar i have to run out and get more bleach...
ALSO on the CYA test what do you guys consider seeing the black dot ? like right when it kinda disappears or until you really cant see anything at all???
THANKS :-D
