My readings were:
Hardness = 250
TC = 1
FC = .5
Ph = 6.4
TA = 60
CYA = 20
I'm using strips until my Taylor test kit gets here. I decided to shock the pool with 4 gallons of chlorox. Checked 3 hours later with filter running. Here are my results:
TH = 250
TC = 5
FC = 0
Ph = 7.0 which is probably not correct since it was just shocked.
TA = 120
CYA = 20
Does this make sense? TC went up but FC went down. Could I be getting a bad reading because I'm using strips? Shouldn't FC go up after shocking? Should I shock at night instead?
