Hey guys I am new to the forums,
After being pool stored for two years and spending close to a thousand dollars per year battling bi-weekly algae outbreaks I found this great site. I started using the BBB method a few weeks ago. All my numbers look good now accept for TA which I am working on. The water is crystal clear and CC is less than .5 usually around .2.
My issue is that I am still using about 1-2 gallons of 8.3% chlorine per day and I cannot pass the OCLT. I am losing 2-3ppm overnight. I started a SLAM on Sunday night and my test results for the following 2.5 days are below. Based on a CYA of 40 my target Shock level is 16. I have maintained that as best I could and last night even pushed it to 22 to see if that would help. This morning I was down 2.5ppm again. Any ideas? Do I just need to run longer? Should I be looking at something else?
Thanks,
Gary
