    Does this make sense?

    I just don't understand why I lost more at night than during the day. I have a tf-100. Shouldn't I lose more during the day?

    First test results with the TF-100

    it came down a bit to 15 this last hour. i'm starting to see a bit of brown stuff forming on the bottom of the pool, so i'm guessing its killing stuff. i added more bleach to get it above 16. drained all my bleach supply, pun intened. gotta go refill.

    First test results with the TF-100

    ok so i finally got my FC level up to 17 (16 is the shock level) and my CC is still at 0.5. I'm going to give it one more hour above shock level, then let it come back down and do another OCLT and cross my fingers.

    Thanks for the reply. Is it better to dump the bleach in the skimmer basket or in front of the return?
