Lowering CC to 0

[godmind]

Hello this is my first post here.
I would like to lower my cc to 0 as it is .6.
I sue the Taylor test kit with the powder.
currently my
ALk is 80
PH 7.2
Cy 70
ch 150
fc 5
I have a 24000 in ground vinyl pool
How do I calculate the correct amount? I am using 12 percent bleach. Thanks in advance.

Do you use an auto-cover or is your pool covered? No need to lower it, its normal. You can try an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to see if you are loosing FC to organics. Use PoolMath or download the app to your phone. When you post results we are used to this format:
FC
CC
PH
TA
CH
CYA
SALT
TEMP
CSI

God,

So you can't really lower CC, as it is a result of the chlorine doing its job.. In theory it should be zero most of the time.. I would not worry about .6 unless you get .6 or higher several days in a row.. A one time spike to .6 is just not a big deal.. If it continues to stay high then we can start worrying about it.

Also.. just to make sure you know... You need to do the CC test immediately after doing the FC test.. If you wait a few minutes the color will turn a false pink..

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thanks for the quick responses and the suggestions. I don't have cover so the pool is uncovered. I will do the CC test right away. Usually the water became a very light point then clears with one drop.
FC 5.5
CC .6
PH 7.2
TA 80
CH 150
CYA 70
SALT 3300
TEMP 82
CSI dont know
So from what I understand the CC will go away on its own and I dont have to SLAM to get it to change. My pool water is crystal clear and I never add anything to it but just follow the TFP recommendations for balancing.

If you have the PoolMath App, go to settings and turn on track CSI. As for your FC testing you can use 10ml sample and one scoop of powder. 1 drop=.5 ppm, this will save you some reagents.

Thanks. I turned on track CSI in the pool math app. I will keep testing the CC to see if it spikes.
