I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere. It's been almost a week. I started with 16 gals of liquid shock that is 12.5% and I have 3 gallons left. This is what my pool looks like:
My target is 12, so I've been trying to keep it around 15 so it's above 12. At night I have been putting it at 20 so I can sleep. My filter needs to be cleaned every hour because its small so often I've been running it without the cartridge so that the water can keep flowing. My kids have vac it a bunch of times. There just doesn't seem to be a change.
Here is what the last 24 hours was like:
Note: The day before, on Friday, we were seeing about 1-2 FC loss per hour, but yesterday's numbers below seemed to me much slower. Yesterday seemed cloudy(the sky), not sure if that was the diff.
- The night before I made it 18-20 so I could sleep.
- 8:00am 14.5 FC, didn't add anything but cleaned filter
- 9:30am cleaned filter
- 10:00am 11 FC, added 49oz
- 12:30pm 11.5 FC added 43oz
- 2:45pm 14 FC added nothing. Water in pool was moving but not moving in skimmers so I removed the filter cartridge and left it out for the rest of the day and last night.
4:00pm 13.5 FC, added 18oz
6:35pm 13 FC, added 25oz
9:00pm 13 FC, added 25oz
11:20pm 15 FC, it was bedtime so I took it up to 17 for the night, adding 3 cups
This morning:
8:00am 13 FC, added 25oz.
I only have 3 gals of liquid shock left out of the original 16 gallons.
