Cc is 0. Taylor test kit k2006. No powder goes into pool! Just bleach

So near my pool steps I now have white marks, they appear like bleached out markings that occur only near the steps. They are smooth from what I can tell so I don't think it's calicum, but my problem is it seems like more and more spots are showing up. I'm attaching a picture. . - - -...

Did a set of test, added 1 ppm of Chlorine....drank a beer!

I did a set of test, but didn't even have to add anything. :)

FC= Free Chlorine (Unused)- When you add Chlorine to your pool it is available to be used as a disinfectant CC- When your FC attacks stuff in your pool it becomes CC which is no longer able to be used as a disinfectant CC are actually what causes the Chlorine smell, and hurts your eyes. More...

thanks a ton, I'm OCD about the pool after swimming in tons of bad pools. I like my hair color, and my eyes! I have a friend who has a lot smaller pool by approx. 20,000 gallons who has spent double to get their pool clear than I have. I try to explain to them but for some reason "bleach"...

Yea, sorry. I test each evening, so from say 6pm one day to 6pm the next it loose on average about 1 ppm

ah, didn't think of it that way. I'll make the changes. - - - Updated - - - Yep, Im just pouring in bleach by hand as needed. I've checked the CYA several times since obtaining the pool because the previous owner used pucks, and that also all I knew until I found this site about 2 months...

Thanks! I have a CYA of 50 and I keep the FC at 5 to try to stay in the middle of the recommendations.

Well thanks to everyone here I've never had to slam my pool since I acquired it with the purchase of my home. However I do have a few questions that after reading and reading I still don't have a clear understanding of. From what I read the OCLT should be done with the FC at shock levels...

I have a beginner question I can't seem to find an answer to..... When do you SLAM? I understand when you see algae, cloudy water, or CC over .5. but what if your water is crystal clear, with 0 CC, but using a high amount of chlorine daily. Right now i'm good, i'm only burning approx. 1 ppm...

Up to 80 today!!

Thanks, and that's a pretty good idea. thanks! PS whats your water like? 76 here, swam today a tad cold!

I'm at work so I couldn't get pictures of my pool, but these I found online and are similar. I think its refered to as "bullnose coping"

sure will let me get one....
