Hi, I have been a long time lurker and have used the BBB method for several years without issue, until now.
Over the course of the summer I have had a slowly rising CC level, but all the other levels held pretty constant. PH at 7.3, TA at 80, CYA at 30. Two days ago after the CC reached .80 PPM, I shocked my pool using the 10x method to burn off the CC, 17 gallons of 12.5% bleach which backfired horribly. My CC has skyrocketed to nearly 2 PPM, my CYA and TA dropped to single didgits, my PH raised to 8.2, and my FC level will not go above 2.5 PPM with CC at 4.3 PPM. The water is unswimable now and my family is pretty mad at me right now. Searching online, I found out the 10x method is wrong, despite being advised everywhere on the net. I got a test kit for ammonia and it indicates there is none in my water, yet I still have ultra high CC levels. What can I do now? I know I really screwed up this time. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
