My pool is 16,000 gallons and looks great. Crystal clear. CYA is a little high. According to the TF 1000 it looks to be 70 if I can trust my eyes on that test! I've practiced a few times. Pool isn't holding chlorine. Adding 3 gallons a day. Is that normal?
I read some others suggested to SLAM the pool and i understand I'll need to get it to shock value at 28 ppm or so. Adding liquid bleach. What I don't understand is what do I do after I add all those 7+ gallons. I'm testing it for what? Am I trying to keep it at 28 ppm? For how long? Directions for SLAM says to test at least twice a day but I don't know what I'm looking for it to do.
Thanks!
