.UnderWaterVanya said:Just a point about shocking. You mentioned you'd get 10 shocks out of the cal hypo. That is not what we mean by shocking. Read the pool school article on it and you will see what I mean. You will raise it to the level needed and then hold it there. There is no way to know how long this will take or how much it will take. Keeping the FC a little higher when the leaves drop will help next time around.

By 10 shocks I meant that if my SWG is capable of raising the FC to about 7 maximum which seems the case, then for shocking I would
need another 13ppm which equates to 1kg of dry chlorine which means 10 shocks for the box. That is if a full shock were needed in the future, with topping up requirements not calculated.
PS, leaves drop all year here as nearly all native trees are evergreen. There is no fall season for trees except for when it gets very hot and windy, then they tend to lose quite a few more than the rest of the time., but they constantly drop all year!
