Thank you all. I have just ordered the TF100 test kit online, and will post readings as soon as I get the kit. This is the 4th day that I have been shocking the pool (started Friday 6/18 at 1PM). We just added 2 gal of chlorine this morning as we had covered the pool last night due to the rainy forecast and this morning the FC dropped from bright purple last night, to very slight purple this morning. This was the most significant overnight drop since we started shocking. The water seems ever so slightly clearer than it has been.
Concern and a little history:
Saleine level is higher at 3.8 than the Jandy manual calls for of 3.0-3.5. I am wondering if this is part of the problem? Since this has been going on for the past 1.5 years (it is particularly concerning now since we totally replaced the Jandy unit in May $$$ because we were told that the circuit board and cell were both bad and likely the cause of our problems). Late last year and early this year we drained about 3 feet of water, maybe more, in hopes that this would help.
