Just did my first test with the TF-100 kit last week and everything was pretty good but needed a little more FC according to experts on this forum and the pool calculator. (see numbers below). Based on my numbers, the experts on here told me to keep FC around 3-5ppm. For a week now, I am having to add 1.5 to 2 gallons of bleach each evening to replenish the chlorine that is lost during the day. Our pool gets used everyday with an average swimload of 10-15 people. At $3.00 a gallon for 7.84% available chlorine bleach, it seems to be more expensive than using traditional methods. I'm just wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong or if this will diminish over time. Any advice is appreciated.
Total Chlorine = 1.5
FC = 1ppm
CC = .5
PH = 7.2
CYA = 50
Calcium Hardness = 250
Alkalinity = 170
