I drained my pool recently because of high CH. After the refill I added:
- 3 days ago: 1 gallon of 10% bleach purchased at Walmart with a date of 2024/324 (roughly two months old)
- 6 days ago: 1 trichlor tab.
I have not added any stabilizer yet.
After adding the bleach my FC measured only 3.5 and I was expecting around 8. Today I tested 0.
Could the bleach have been weak?
My FC reagents were purchased last October, I don't believe they are the issue.
Would the FC dissipate this quickly with no stabilizer, at this time of year, with a water temperature in the low-mid 50s?
If it's the lack of stabilizer I'll walk away embarrassed, but I didn't think stabilizer was this critical at this time of year.
