Hello This is my 1st pool I'm trying to learn all this by reading. I started off by opening my pool with shock and I must have shocked it too much and it was at level 16 of free chlorine. I turned the chlorine off and let the pool set I finally got it down to a 5. This took about 4 days. I haven't been able to swim due to weather and I put the cover back on for a week. I feel like I can smell chlorine so I tested with my taylor titration and I think it is showing that my free combine chlorine is .4 My question is how can your chlorine level be at 5 but still have a high combined chlorine? I just added one pound of pool shock because that's all I had left. I have a 24000 gallon pool.
I so appreciate your help.
