As far as testing goes, when I am testing for FC levels over 30 ppm, I have been using 1 part pool water and 1 part distilled water. I mix those together and then do a 10 ml test. You end up using half of the titrating agent that you would normally use for such a high test. I realize there...

That's what I was hoping for....someone who has gone through this situation like me....hopefully the end is in sight!

Hmmm...I didn't realize the FC loss as a percentage was such an issue. I will see what the loss is from sundown to sunrise tonight and get a feel for where I am at. My FC should be in low 20's tonight when I test. Thanks for your insight and help. I will let you know what happens.

There was a day or two (not consecutive days) that my chlorine loss was less than 1.0 ppm from sun down to sunrise. When that happend I was going to keep at shock level for one more day as insurance. Trouble was that the next day I had losses of about 6 ppm overnite. Last night this is what I...

I may not have been clear about CC in my testing. Most times it reads 0 but I have been getting sporadic readings of 0.5, but never more. The real issue is the huge daily chlorine losses. Normally my pool would lose 3-4 ppm on a hot summer day with lots of swimmers. This year, the water is...

I know that shock level for my pool with CYA of 50 should be 20 ppm, but that wasn't working. I guess I thought to bring it higher would be better for shocking purposes, but I guess that was flawed thinking. I just didn't want it to drop below 20 ppm when I wasn't around so I figured I was...

Since openning my pool in early May, I have been experiencing huge FC losses daily. Water is crystal clear, however. My pool is 15K gallons, in-ground liner pool with cartidge filter. My numbers are good except for the FC loss. Ph- 7.4, CYA- 40-50, TA- 110. So I have held my pool at shock...
