I will test the other numbers and post back in a few. When I tested the CYA level a few minutes ago I filled it to the top of the tube and could see the dot very very faintly. What CYA would that be? Also could I use some Dichlor to shock at the beginning to raise the CYA? Using 8lbs of dichlorvos I can raise my CYA by 14. Is that helpful?
Your CYA is < 20, I would use a shock value of 10. As I said in my other post, the CYA is just going to be converted to ammonia, which is the real enemy! The thing we want to accomplish is to hold a FC chlorine level, if it is only for 2 hours...we want to see that FC holding...
