So, I started my opening yesterday of an expected green pool. I had to close my pool earlier than I wanted to last year due to having back surgery at the end of September, so I expected it to be a mess.
So I got everything started up and circulating, vacuumed to waste and shocked it last night with 3 gallons of 10%. I didn't have a chance to test the chlorine that night.
Pool looked better today, backwashed and brushed and gave it another 3 gallons. Did a quick chlorine test before I shocked and showed between 2-3. Added the 3 gallons and checked the chlorine 15 minutes later, no change.
Checked the chlorine 3 hours later, no change. Am I getting a false reading or did I have bad chlorine? Bottle date was 4-3-17.
