I did! To make sure about the OCLT, I ran it two nights in a row. Only lost 0.5 the 2nd night (which seems to be within the margin of error) and CC was not measurable. Crystal clear! You guys are amazing! Have made a believer out of me. Will become a member!

7:30am FC 25 Only dropped 1ppm overnight!

Got back in town this afternoon to a crystal clear pool!!!! Over the last couple of days my wife added 2 gallons of bleach 2x a day. Checked the condition of the pristine pool and the FC was 20, not bad! Wed 6:30pm FC 20 added 3qts to get back to SLAM level of 24. Could actually see the...

Definitely looks like it works, but I would be lying if I wasn't doubting it a little. It takes some faith, and a lot of bleach and reagent!

1:40pm FC 13 Added 2 gallons & 2 quarts of 6% bleach Hallelujah, making progress!!! There is hope!!! Now hoping it holds/continues as I am on the road for the next two days. Will have bleach add on a schedule though.

6:40am FC 22.5 Added 1 quart, 5oz of 6%

11:30pm FC 22 Still dropping, so the chlorine isn't done working. Tried stir up the witches by brushing the floor and walls the best I could in the dark. Going to add 1 quart, 2 cups, 1oz and call it a night.

Great tip. Didn't catch that one. Long ways from doing an OCLT then...

After freshening up on the OCLT, decided to add 12oz of 6% bleach to get the pool to 24. Will test again before I go to bed to get a good baseline. Come on good OCLT!

8:45pm Starting to stabilize FC 23.5 Will bring it up to 24 before I go to bed.

7:20pm FC 25 Will test again in an hour. Water is looking more dark grey than green, but it could also be the lighting. Now to reread about the overnight loss test...

Great. That is easy enough. Thanks!

Well, three pools stores later and a BUNCH of driving around Kansas City has me back in business... TIP for anyone reading this, you will use a BUNCH of the R-0871 reagent. It isn't just enough to have a test kit, you need a TON of the R-0871 reagent. Not like a of bottle of the A size, like a...

9:00 Ugh, ran out of reagent. I know that FC was above 14. Will get more after church and get it back up to SLAM level.

That makes a ton of sense. Does that explain why the 'chlorine' smell stopped around 11am when my CC was near 0? (Have heard that the heavy chlorine smell of a pool is actually the chlorine 'working')

12:30am FC 26 Heading to bed. Back to it in the morning. Might have to buy some more reagents after church!

Added 1 jug of 6% at 4:30 without sampling due to time constraints Sampled at 10:00 FC 13.5 Added 2.1 jugs of 6% to get back to 24 Will check again right before I go to bed. Hope I didn't lose to much momentum between 4:30 and 10:00. Need a big day tomorrow as I leave Monday afternoon on...

Time got away from me... 2:00 FC - 15 Added 1.8 jugs of 6%

Thanks for that tip. Will have to restudy the material. I thought the CC was a sign that the process was working.

12:15 FC 19.5 CC couldn't get a reading Added 1.1 jugs of 6% to get it back to 24 Sun is out bright and shiny.

11:00 FC 17.5 CC couldn't get a reading Added 1.3 jugs of 6% to get it back to 24 Brushed it thoroughly

Good to know. Don't want to risk that!

Is it a bad thing, or just a waste of bleach? Reason I ask, I have to run somewhere for 2-3 hours later. Thinking I could bring the level up some before I left to make sure it stays in the SLAM level.

10:00am FC holding at 24 Did some quick brushing on the bottom Can smell the 'chlorine smell' Kind of surprised the FC didn't drop more From what I have read, it seems like going a little high on FC (Say 26-28) wouldn't be a bad thing. Am I missing anything?
