No CC doesn't = No problems; I've seen this myself. It isn't clear why (to me) but you can have Algae and not have CC's.
Since you started off with more than 22.5ppm last night, you'll need to keep going. In fact, looking at the info below; you haven't actually raised the levels enough to begin with.

Get some more bleach in there and hang on... measure it as often as practical and keep the levels up to the shock level of 28ppm as much as you can manage.
Very true, just you do not have measurable CC level does not guarantee clean water. That is why there are 3 criteria in the shocking process. Most likely the CC is being oxidized (by the chlorine and sun) fast enough to not be at a significant level.UnderWaterVanya said:
As UWV said, with a OCLT loss of >1 ppm, continue shocking.
I added another gallon this morning and am now at work until later so Ill check it again when I get home. I am assuming there is no swimming while this is all going on correct?
Not necessarily...it is sort of a personal preference. Our recommendation is if you FC level is below the shock level (for your cya level), and you can see the bottom, it is safe to swim. I also like the CC to be below 0.5 ppm since some forms can cause eye and skin irritation.AdrenalinPlease said:
Oh ok so it good to swim by late morning tomorrow since I dumped another two gallons after work, the fc was 17.5ppm with no cc's
Don't let your FC drop for long below 20 ppm until you pass the three criteria simultaneous (in my sig). You will want to do another OCLT tonight.
I'm sure I jumped to about 30ppm with the two gallons but I'll test tonight again and then in the morning.
It rained overnight so I didn't check this morning, I'll just keep going I guess for now
