Firstly, let me thank all who contribute to this site and the owner/operator. Being a new hot tub owner, I have learned more here in the last month than I thought I needed to learn. The altruism displayed here is nothing short of impressive.I have a quick question as it relates to shocking. The hot tub manufacture , beachcomber (430 gallons, dichlor for the moment) advises to to add 2 1/2 TBs each week of their Carefree Boost - their dichlorvos sanitize each week. This causes the chlorine to jump into the teens, and obviously we can’t use it for approx. 24 hours. When I measure the free Chlorine pre-shock it is usually around 3PPM, with combined chlorine around .5 PPM. If I understand correctly, I need to add 10 Xs the combined CC, which in this case would be enough to bring up to 5 PPM ?
If I added less than the 2 1/2 TBs , but enough to bring up to , in this case 5 PPM, would I have effectively shocked the hot tub.
Many Thanks
Sean
