Help! The water truck was here last Wednesday and I diligently followed the instructions in the article "Beginners Guide for Seasonal/Temporary Pools". Added enough chlorine to get it to 6 ppm the first night, and jumped in. After our first swim I added dichlor as directed for the four days. (Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat). A week later and still no CYA reading at all. The test solution doesn't even begin to cloud up. It's good that my water's clear and all, but it sure would be nice if it clouded up when I tried to make it cloudy! I'm thinking there's some in there, as I'm not losing all of my chlorine during the day (pool is in direct sunlight late morning into early evening). This morning was the first time my FC dropped to below 4, and I've not added anything since Saturday.
My numbers from 5:15 am:
FC = 2 (added bleach before I left for work this am.)
CC = 0
pH = 7.5
T/A = 70
CYA = 0
CH = 50
Big question -- do I stop on the way home and get CYA, or is there something else I'm missing?
