Hope I did this right!

I just tested my pool water with the recommended kit Taylor 2006c. This was the results:
CC 1ppm
FC 0.2 ppm
PH 7.6
CYA - maybe less than 30...I added the mixture to the tube but the black dot never got smaller
TA 100
CH 130

I know it needs more chlorine but anything else?

The black dot doesn't get smaller, it gets obscured.

I'd add 20ppm of dry granular chlorine stabilizer. Use the sock method.

Get some liquid chlorine in the pool. 3ppm.

Do this test tonight...Link-->Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

Will tell us if we have algae...

I would change your FC testing protocol. Use 10mL of pool water. Each drop is .5FC. Use this now and everyday testing. .5FC discrimination is just fine and will save reagent.

SLAM ON!!

Ok...started SLAM yesterday..

Where did all my chlorine go in a few hours??

 

[PoolStored]

Algae/Organics. Chlorine is consumed killing it. You need to test and replace more often, particularly in the beginning. No more than every 2 hours.

Ok, I will do that. I just added 2 more gallons. Will test in 2 hrs. Thanks for all the help!
