Yes use the powder test! Daily, until you learn how much FC drops in different conditions.So if I want it that high then I have to do the test for FC every single time? Not just the basic drop test that tells me chlorine levels up to 5 ppm right? We have always just used that part of the test kit except for once every so often when the levels get weird. The LC we use is 10%. I guess maybe I’m confused because what is in the test kit instructions is so different than what the pool math app is saying. I just retested the water and updated the results. It was only at 3.5 ppm, so I guess after the kids get out I will add more chlorine.
Can you type in the digits, I can’t read.This is the only code I can see, and it makes no sense to me. I just looked at the description of the pool online that says how many gallons the pool holds, and went off of that.
Tha block test is a guess. Just like a test strip. It is not accurate enough to dose from. Do the powder test everytime. It takes 45 literal seconds.Not just the basic drop test that tells me chlorine levels up to 5 ppm right
Now I am on my computer, couldn't read on phone.This is the only code I can see, and it makes no sense to me. I just looked at the description of the pool online that says how many gallons the pool holds, and went off of that.
Sorry, it’s been a very busy long weekend! The pool looks pretty good. The water could be a little clearer, and we haven’t gotten our FC to be nearly as high as we would like. It makes sense though, after reading about the chlorine degradation you pointed out. So basically, the bigger the number, the newer the chlorine? Apparently my newest bottle of chlorine is already 30 days old. What do I do if I can’t find any new chlorine? The shortage has made it difficult to get ANY chlorine, let alone stuff that is semi-recently made. Can I just add a larger amount of the “old” stuff?@Colleen0904 How is it going?
