I found green algae on the bottom of the pool yesterday, so I went and got some bargain bleach last night. This is the first time I've SLAMed. CYA was 70, shock FC = 28.
Somehow I made an error using PoolMath, and I thought I was supposed to add 633 oz 8.25% bleach instead of 605 oz. Five gallons is 640 oz, so I just dumped 5 gallons in. Apparently the bargain bleach was more concentrated than 8.25% as well because raising FC from 6.5 to 30 should have taken 661 fl oz, which is more than I added.
I tested just now, an hour after adding the bleach, and I'm at FC = 38. Is this a problem for my pool's integrity? Do I need to drain and add water? Or just monitor and let it fall naturally?
