Ok.. So we have done everything as instructed about keeping the FC at a level of 20 and we have succeeded! The FC has been at 20 for 48 hours... Now what?? How long do we let the chlorine level stay so high? Will it come down?

My pool has been crystal clear the entire time

How long do I have to keep the FC level to 20?

We have a 34000 gallon vinyl line pool with DE filter. I have been using accuchek 7 strips and also taking the water to the pool stores for testing. We have tried several types of shock including Dichlor and calcium hypo.

This is pretty long winded but here it goes. Our pool seems to be in a "chlorine lock". Over the last 2 weeks we have added close to 60 pounds of shock and FC and TC are still at 0.5 we were told that something was eating up the chlorine and they tested for the dreaded phosphates which came up...
