Quick question: does killing algae "consume" chlorine?
I'm trying to get my newly opened pool up to shock level, and, after adding the recommended volume based on the pool calculator 3 times total, in the last few hours, my FC reading is still 1!
Yes, the water is brownish, the first cycle of chlorine was visibly clearing the water near the return (harder to tell later when i was brushing and vacuuming).
i'll be checking again in the morning, but it seemed a bit surprising that the pool seemed to be absorbing chlorine like a sponge!
