Good idea, I’ll try that

Thank you everyone! I will be sure to round up for CYA from now on. I can see in poolmath how rounding up ie from 42 to 50 greatly increases the recommended chlorine to add. I still don’t understand why (even if I wasn’t reaching appropriate shock levels) the FC readings were so stable from one...
