benavidescj: I didn't shock and walk away. Since you really can only shock when the sun is down it is kind of hard to add liquid chlorine when you are sleeping. I added chlorine waited a couple of hours and then tested. Then I slept 8 hours and upon getting up I tested.
So how long are you saying to keep it at 22ppm? I thought once you hit that figure it clears everything up which once again I have clear water and no signs of algae but was told it could be there since I'm going thru the chlorine. Now last night I added chlorine per the calculations of the pool calculator and got it up to 25ppm. So are you saying I should continue to add in the day to keep it there until I don't have the drop?
My question is , once i add the chlorine to the pool, how long should I wait to test?
I've been adding chlorine, wait one hour and test it. My pump runs 24 hours a day on low speed. I've put in at least 6 1/4 gallons of chlorine since Saturday all early morning or late at night.
