Cause I'm using the Taylor K-2006 kit and that's what it says to do for a 25ml sample.
I’m missing something... why are you multiplying by .2?

And for a SLAM Process I like the accuracy of the 25ml sample.Cause I'm using the Taylor K-2006 kit and that's what it says to do for a 25ml sample.
Looks like you lost almost all your chlorine overnight? If so, there is something in there eating it. If the water is crystal clear, it'd probably be a quick SLAM. Raise FC to 12 Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart test and adjust back to 12 a couple of times a day and brush the entire pool once a day. Once you have less than 1ppm loss of FC overnight and stay under 1ppm CC you'll be good to go.
Mr. Bruce hit the nail on the head - it's time to SLAM Process the pool.Looks like you lost almost all your chlorine overnight? If so, there is something in there eating it.

Use the Pool Math numbers. You want to hit it hard and test and adjust back to shock level as many times as you can today. Keep the pump running, keep it at at shiock level as much as possible and it should be over quickly.
Please refresh me, since this is all still new to me (meanwhile I will go read up again) how would I "adjust back"? And yes, the pool math calc gave me those numbers/amounts when I put 0.8 in as my current and 12 as my target.
I have confirmed your numbers, 15,000 gallons, 6% bleach, and FC going from 0.8 to 12. 2 gallons and 3 quarts! Go ahead and dump in the bleach.
Many chemicals it's recommended to add half and then re-test and then add what remainder is required to not overshoot. But this is not one of those times. Add the whole 2 gallons and 3 quarts right away, we're not worried about overshooting a little on chlorine.
The goal is to maintain that FC level of 12ppm so "Adjust back" means after you've added this dose of bleach, re-test FC levels in an hour or two and if it's fallen to let's say 10, go ahead and add more bleach to 'adjust back' to 12.
Ahhhh, gotcha!!! Thanks a million everyone!!
Trust me, once you get through this and become comfortable you will be here answering questions for other new folks.LOL I'm so thankful for everyone's help. It's made what once seemed scary not so bad after all. Got the bleach added. Now we wait.

Oh gosh I can never see myself being that knowledgeable with this stuff but would help out when and where I can for sure. HAHA
