Not using my Frog and going to BBB but I'm still confused about the different kinds of chlorine between tabs, shock and bleach. I have on-hand some 3" chlorine tabs from last year and 2 years ago, some shock and a big bottle of bleach.
My pool opened beautifully clear last week and I've added bleach once. My readings are:
FC 3.5
CC 0
TC 3.5
PH 7.5
CH 290
T/A 90 (Is this OK?)
CYA 35
From what I read here, if I use the shock, it will raise the CYA. That's a good thing in this case, right? And, the tabs (cal hypo) will raise the CH but not the CYA, right? I'm running out of bleach so I'd like to use the shock and the tabs on a limited basis if I can. The tabs are individually wrapped. Have those lost significant strength?
Fought algae all last year and trying to avoid that.
Thank you.
