Correct. I've been doing the process as much as I possibly can between work, sometimes sleep and an active 2 year old. I think I'm just going to drain and refill.

I didn't quite get up to 31oz, but I did 20oz. Tonight is the first time testing the chlorine since I shocked last night. FC - 19.5 CC - 1.5 The CC won't budge. The cloudiness seems to have subsided, however.

So, I've been shocking it just about every night, but all I had was the dichlor that I was originally told to use by the pool store guys. So, tonight I went out and got some bleach and I'll begin shocking with that instead. Here are the newest test results: pH - 7.5 (may have been 7.2, I'm not...

benavidescj, thanks. I was hoping that was not the case. Duraleigh, I did post my hot tub info and questions in my original thread. I figured I would need to separate the hot tub info into the Spas and Hot Tub section where the Hot Tub experts might see it. Thanks

Raining today. I'll try to take some pics when it's nicer out. Thanks

I recently bought a house that came with an IG Pool and a Hot Tub. They were part of the big sell, but now I'm realizing how much work they are! Since we had no clue what to do, we went to the local pool store and followed their directions. I already posted in another section about my pool, so...

How many jugs of bleach are you putting in per week? I'll look into the floater. We actually have a automatic feeder, but I don't know how it works and I think I was told not to use the pucks in it. Maybe I was dreaming that. The cloudiness was in the hot tub, not the pool. The pool is still...

Okay, I just finished doing a full run of tests on both the pool and hot tub while my 2 year old napped. The results are scary. No, we won't be going in the pool until the chlorine comes down as I know it's super high. Note that we accidentally left the pump on all night last night. I'm guessing...

What should I use for chlorine then? The bleach/liquid chlorine seems to be the best, but it has to be closely monitored daily, it seems. I don't really have a lot of free time with young children running around. Any tips on the heater? Also, after a recent backwash, my pressure gauge is...

The chlorine test is subjective unless I do the drop test. It was hard for me to tell if my chlorine was high or REALLY high. Where should the pucks be placed? That was more pool store guy info. Thanks

I've been following other threads to get tips for my own pool and hot tub, but it's time for me to stop lurking and start my own thread. We bought a house 2 months ago that included an IG pool and a hot tub. If the rest of the property is any indication, these things were never maintained...
