Hi,
First post on this site and looking for a little insight on my problem. We had a lot of storms the past week and started to smell some chloramines. Normal ph=7.5 and cl= 5 cya=60-70. Shocked pool using cl level from chart on site to target of 32. Added 3.25 gallons of liquid cl per calculator at night. About hr later readings: FC=41, CC=.2 Next morning before sun comes up reading: FC 33, CC=0 PH=8.2. Added HCL and dropped ph back down. My questions: since the cc=0 that means all of the organics have been consumed but why do I still smell the chloramines coming off the pool? The smell is pretty strong still. I assume something is still breaking down and that is why the smell. But if that is so, why is the CC reading at 0 and should I keep shocking?
