I guess my pool defies the laws of chemistry then, because I routinely add enough chlorine to last several days at my measured daily FC loss, and it works out every time. My pool is heavily shaded, so I know that is a key factor, but it is never 100% in the shade.JasonLion said:That won't work. The higher the starting FC level, the faster you will lose chlorine during the day.sb127 said:I could just dump in enough bleach for 3 days worth of FC loss (which would still be well below shock level) on Thurs night & then check and adjust everything again Sun night when we return
I suggest that if anyone is interested in how their own pool reacts, do the experiment yourself! You're really not taking that much of a risk, and how else will you really know? I did, that's how I know about my pool. Isn't that a big part of BBB, knowing your pool? And how else to gain the experience but through experimentation?
