I call Power Powder Plus 65% and Power Powder Pro 73%. They both vary a little, but Plus claims at least 65% in their marketing literature, while Pro claims at least 73%.
I used only 1 3" tablet. That's the only tablet I've ever put in this pool.
Okay, so I I've been shocking to 30, and just did a 1 hour test. 29!!!! I added a little more CalHypo, according to the Pool Calculator, but I opened my case of 12% bleach for future adjustments.
I don't want to get too excited... but I think I might have it beat!!!
Ok, with no trichlor I shocked again last night. I shocked to 30 at 7:30 PM and got these chlorine results
8:30 FC 23.5 (shocked back to 30)
9:30 FC 29;CC 2 (shocked back to 30)
10:30 FC 25; CC 1.5 (shocked back to 30)
3:00 AM 14.5; CC .5 (did not shock)
Then this AM.
7:00 AM
FC 8
CC .5
TC 8.5
pH 6.4
TA 110
CH 160
CYA 37
temp 70
I'm going to bring the pH up a bit.
I didn't lose all my chlorine... do I still need to shock? The pool is a little cloudy, but very clear.
I added a box of borax this AM. And since I wouldn't be home to shock, I did put in a tablet. (Since the CYA was below 40 I didn't think it would hurt too much.) I'll take it out when I get home, and do some more CalHypo.
Yea, this AM when it was down to 8 FC I poured in a box of 20 mule. I'll do two more tomorrow when the FC number drops. Hopefully that will be when I get home in the afternoon, and not first thing in the morning.
