Bad Batch of Chlorine? Potential Swamp incoming?

[JessBlount617]

Okay I remembered to do OCLT tonight!

Just measured:
FC 5.5
PH 7.7

Since I’m above a 3 on FC, I am not adding more LC per instructions n

Tomorrow - before the sun hits the pool, come out and measure again… and if I have lost more than 1 ppm of FC, we have something going on, right?

Do I cover the pool for the evening? I have a simple blue “bubble wrap” solar cover. Will that impact anything?

Good news! Passed OCLT!
FC 5
PH 7.7

So I don’t have bad chlorine. I don’t have a potential swamp. I was just not thinking about the heat wave and UV for normal chlorine loss.

Thankfully it’s going to be much cooler today - mid 70s. I’ll still dose high to land in range!

Thanks everyone!!!

Alright folks - measuring CYA - I am at a 50. Should I really add more?

If you are ok with the amount of chlorine you are adding, leave it alone.

I added enough LC to get me to an FC of 11 this morning. Let me see how I look tonight.

If I increase CYA, you think by 10 to 60? PoolMath tells me I only need to add about 6.5 Oz to get there; and then throws me the "you're out of range, and the only way to reduce is to drain/refill"

PoolMath can be so bossy sometimes
