Thanks. Raised it to ten last night and will check it again tonight. Didn't have time this morning to do it before i left for work, but i kept the pump running. Should get my FAS-DPD test kit tomorrow.

you probably don't want to attempt 0 FC so soon after shocking.
frustratedpoolmom said:Not sure - maybe put some AA in a sock and rub it over the stains... you should pick up some sequesterant - Jack's magic for plaster would be a good one. That will help prevent stains from redepositing.
frustratedpoolmom said:I think the "blue" stuff is the right choice since your plaster is newer.
Its tough to say. Usually when the stains are all over the pool we say use maintenance doses of sequesterant long term -but since yours are minimal and confined to small areas I'm not 100% certain it's necesary.
It could be one of those situations where if you get rid of the stain, and then see them start to come back, immediately add sequesterant, and the stains should lift again - and then whenever you see the stains just use more sequesterant. So it could be a maintenance thing or it could be they go away and you don't hae to worry about them....not sure. Hopefully the latter.
frustratedpoolmom said:Yes, it's still a proper level kind of thing to prevent staining. So follow the recommended level.
