Is there a "standard" amount of bleach a pool should consume on a daily basis? It seems that my pool is all over the board in terms of daily chorine use. My CYA is at 40 so I try to keep the Chlorine level at about 5 ppm.
I test my water each and every day and add bleach every night right before sunset. My last few tests have generated the following daily results (Using Pool Pal app).
- Add 79 oz bleach
- Add 64 oz bleach
- Add 48 oz bleach
- Add 64 oz bleach
- Add 79 oz bleach
Are these readings "normal"? I would think that there would be a certain "magic number" of ounces I would need to add (give or take a few ounces) each day. Seems like my bleach needs are not consistent day after day. Is this normal?? Perhaps when more bleach was needed there was more swimming done that day or more sun that day??? My pool gets FULL sun from 7 am to sunset.
FYI
pH is 7.4
TA is 50
CC is 0
Thanks!
