5 hours later and chlorine and free chlorine are back at zero. The pull was in direct sun for those 5 hours. I just added 3 more cups of chlorine per the calculator.
Alkalinity is up 10ppm, now at 80ppm.
pH is too low for my Taylor kit to show on the color bar. But calculating base demand shows 11 drops. The worthless test strips indicate a pH of 6.2.
Per the Taylor guidebook I would need about 7lbs of sodium carbonate. The pool math calculator says to add 20lbs.
Should I be adding 20lbs? What's the best method to add this to the pool? I still have two socks full of stabilizer in the skimmer
