I added liquid chlorine at 830pm, tested FC at 10pm at 8.5. Tested this morning at 6am and FC is 7.0. CC is still 1, closer to 0.75 if I could measure. SLAM in process. CYA is 50.

I was able to get FC up to 5 but CC still 1. Pool still a bit cloudy. Ph up to 7.5 and Ta 180. Should I raise FC higher with more liquid chlorine overnight tonight?

Morning All, I have an inground rectangle pool that is 10k gallon, with an auto cover abs heated. Ph 7.2 TA 170 CYA 40 CH 375 FC 2.5 CC 1 TC 3.5 Thoughts? Pool is a bit cloudy but can see bottom.

Morning All, dumped 2 gallons of 10% in last night then tested 15min later. FC measured 5.5 or 11 drops while shaking to turn clear. This morning, 8hrs later, FC measured 1.5.

Awesome that does help. I'll add a half gallon tonight, 10pm or so and test 10min after. If it drops should I add again until it's stable?

Good deal, I'll go get some 10% liquid chlorine from lowes this morning and perform the test tonight. Any estimate on how much I might need to get my FC up?

Yes, 0 FC now. I added nearly 20 gallons of 10% two weeks ago as advised by the pool store stating I had traces of ammonia. FC shot up close to 10 but dropped over time as I added 1 gallon every 10 min then tested. Held at 3ppm overnight but has since shown 0.

Morning All, I posted strip results 2 weeks ago and was told I needed a TF-100, needless to say I'm the proud owner! Here are my results, pool looks great but really eats through chlorine (nearly a 3" puck every 2 days.) I have never really had consistent FC readings on my strips either. PH...

Clear this morning

My test kit will not be here until Thursday, I'm reading off of test strips.

Lol added 4 Gallons at a time, tested every 10min and it took 20 gallons to finally hit 10FC for the last 4 tests. CYA is 30-50, closer to the low end. Ph 7.2

They did not say anything about that, just told me to drain them being a test sample back. If ammonia levels are less than 4, they would sell me 8 gallons of liquid chlorine.

Took a water sample to a local pool company

Cloudy pool, ammonia measuring 5. I have been asked to drain 25% of the pool to get ammonia level down then to add 8 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine? Thoughts?
