New to TFP...I have been fighting algae since shortly after opening my pool 3 week ago. I have always used a local pool store to test water and make recommendations, but I am really frustrated with them. So I bought the Leslie's DPD test kit. I began this morning by adding 192 oz of bleach. Reading are as follows:
FC 3
TC 5
PH 7.2
TA 80
CH 230
CYA 50
I have read about getting FC to "shock level" to kill algae. Looks like I should get FC to around 22 for a shock level. However, my kit reads Cl from .5 to 5. How do I get readings in the 20s?
