I do apologize, how often should I add and test I thought I should not add Bleach during the day?

There is nothing wrong with adding bleach during the day.

Test and add bleach as often as once per hour.

If the water is murky, sounds like you need to follow the ShockLevelAndMAINTAIN Process before you get the SWG dialed in.

Re-iterate need to SLAM (post #12), strongly suggest you re-read the article.

1) I would suggest switching to a 10ml sample for the FC/CC test, each drop would count as 0.5ppm, it saves reagent and is precise enough
2) I believe you might have made a typo with the CC numbers, can you please confirm?

What is the date code on your bleach? (strength degrades over time)

Abigail: I'm Glad you have corrected my thinking on the day time bleach I have always thought you should not add during the daytime, That the sun breaks it down I feel silly now. With the CC test I multiplied the drops by 0.2 using the 25ml test

Epro5: the hardware store I use sells a lot of Chlorine so I assume it is fresh 2/1/2 gallon Jug 10% $4.59

I always use pool salt. I know some say that you can use softener salt and it is the same thing but the pool salt is a lot easier. Dump in. Brush around. Done.

Exactly the same method I use when I added 1000 pounds of softener salt. NaCl is NaCl.
