I have a gunite pool approx. 35,000 (Nature 2 Chlorinator)gallons and I can not seem to keep a chlorine reading. I have been two two different pool stores with different advice, One had me put 4 five gallon conatiners of chlorine in the pool along with some phosphate remover. I do have a high phosphate reading. We'll that didn't work (I'am still adding the phophate remover at small doses because it increased the pressure on filter). A few days later I had a high chlorine reading but a few days after that I have no chlorine. Now this pool store has told me that I need to continue adding the phospahte remover and do not add any chlorine or shock to the pool over the next few days. They did advise thatif I wanted to go swimming to either add insta shock or approx. 2 tablets to the skimmer half 1/2 hour before swimming. They also advised that my wife who is 9 mos. pregnant and my 2 1/2 year old should not go in the pool untill there is a chlorine reading. What do I do? HELP !!!!!
