Hey team!
My pool's free chlorine level is 3.5 and I'd like it up to 5. Before I got rid of my $$$ pool company, they were adding on average 2 gallons weekly. However, when I used the chart at the back of the Taylor test kit (and confirmed with the Pool Calculator) it only suggests adding about 1/4 gallon of chlorine. Have any of you come across discrepancies like this? My gut says to continue with the 2 gallons but I want to better understand this calculation. Thanks!
