chlorine drop

  1. M

    I have the antithesis of a trouble free pool. I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

    TL;DR I can't for the life of me keep my FC up in my 12,000 gallon. Used to use tablets causing skyrocketing CYA. Just balanced everything best I could, and installed a SWCG rated for 25,000g, still waking up with 0 FC in the morning. Hello TFP. This is my first time here, but I probably...

    Rapid decline in FC

    Hello — I shocked my pool last night around 8pm, added 56% cal hypo and some bleach, enough to bring the FC levels to 20 to 30ppm (getting rid of black algae). Brushed the pool good that evening twice. At 7am the next day (11 hours later), checked the FC levels twice taking samples from 2...
