    High CYA impacts

    Chlorine reads zero after over night

    First off, thanks in advance to the advice I have already read and the free pool school book. I have started noticing after I shock that my FC within hours no longer registers on my test strips or with the regent kit (Not the TF-100 you all mention). My other levels read fine. So I was...
