Thanks! I think people think I'm crazy trying to over manage my 1000gal pool, but I'm determined to do it. So far, on the refill I'm still doing good. Strips ARE junk and I'm amazed at how many people use them and have zero problems. Anyways, glad I learned with a small pool as starting over...

Thanks! Just wanted to confirm I was on the right track

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the insight. In looking for the reason of my TC going so high while shocking, you make a fabulous point I hadn't considered. Long term I may very well be causing a bigger problem shocking enough to bring the chloramines to the forfront, but without a...

Quite valid-as dumb as it sounds, I didn't consider the downside of waiting to be a hassle, but once stated, I think you might be right. The Grands definitely consider it an inconvenience to wait until GiGi gets the pool right. I'm a bit stubborn and determined to learn this pool balancing act...

Ty for linked read. Heading there now 🙂
