Alright I have a question or 2. Ive slacked off a little on testing my pool water since its still been kinda cool. But now its starting to warm up. A couple of days ago I tested for chlorine and it showed I had 0. So I added 2 121oz of 8.25% bleach to get it to around a 7 FC. I let the pool run and tested the water several hours later. It was at 12.5. Then I tested last yesterday and it was 10.5. So today I needed some muratic acid so for the heck of it I took a sample in. They showed 5.6 FC. I know yall say the pool store testing isnt all that acurate but I figure theres is closer to what it is then my testing because my chlorine shouldnt be that high with what I poored in. Im following the directions so im not sure what the deal is. Am I doing something wrong? So here are my results from last night and theres today. I did not test hardness.
