Finally, I have a night where I actually took the sample about 10:15 PM, and was up at 5 AM and got the next sample.
My measurements last night using the TF-100
FC - 3.5 - 4.0 (just a touch of pink before going clear on the 8th drop)
CC - 0
pH - 7.6
TA - 80
CH - 220
CYA - 85
Morning
FC 2.5-3.0 - again much closer to 2.5
CC - 0
It has been hovering around 100 degrees for the last week here in Huntsville, AL, no cloud cover or shade for the pool at all, and it was still pretty hot when I was out at 5 AM. Pool School says 1 is about the threshold, but I am wondering if the high temps are having an impact and may have me loosing more Cl than might be normal. Should I shock? The water looks good, but have never been convinced I have been keeping enough CL in there. I know I should at least get it to around 6 by adding bleach, but wanted to see how my new generator was holding it.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
