    ~6pm 2.5 fc 0.5 cc added ~5ppm ... out of bleach ~8pm 7.5 fc 0 cc turned off filter for night Thinking I might add 16oz dichlor per day for 3 days to get cya up to 50. Seems like sun is burning up all the chlorine. Any thoughts on this?

    Does that mean that I should put the puck dispenser back in? Or should I use dichlor (have about 3 lbs left).

    Since I'm not testing fc every few hours. I'm starting to think about fixing the pool light and the slide. Slide: I replaced some of the slide plumbing already but when I ran it yesterday I heard a waterfall under the concrete. ... uh oh. I tried to pick up a concrete slab but there was...

    Thanks to all. I added about "4ppm" (+120oz 8.25% Clorox) this morning and will add another "8ppm" today (one around 4pm and one around 6 or 7pm). The water was sparkling clear this morning. I hope we can keep it this way ... and eventually swim in it. (We have not yet gotten to use it.)
