Chem-Man:::: Much appreciated !!! in fact, I did use poly during the Ascorbic Treatment>>>>>> HOWEVER, I did NOT use it a week ago when I dropped levels for the Nat Chem Metal Free "treatment".... ( This has always been my cure all for metals, but this year nothing has been working....)...

Concerning the Ascorbic treatment: How long (approx) does it take for the water to "hold" bleach levels? I have a smaller 7K AG 18ft round and have gone through 2 gallons of 8.25% within the past 20 hours.. (I've been adding 1/4 gallon at a time with constant testing)... Also, while I'm...

Thanks Guys !! Above all this, I added the CYA just as Im dealing with an (assumed) Algae issue ! But i just wanted to know whether I'm losing FC to sunlight OR algae....
