I went on vacation for a week from last wednesday to this wednesday. When I left I added 2 gallons of 10%. Then on Friday and Monday following I had the person staying here add 2.5 gallons. Tested wednesday when I got back and was clear so first thought is added too much. So got chlorine neutralizer to try and lower. Added 1 pound and retested and still clear. So added another pound of chlorine neutralizer and still clear for FC. FC has been clear since testing wednesday. So I went to the pool store and do drop based test and said I have no chlorine. Not sure of the exact test but they did a drop based test that if goes brown then it is too high but still clear. They said phosates were around 200 so not to really worry.
So I added some chlorine today and should have bumped from 0-6, and still getting clear.
I have tried to replace about 1/4-1/3 of the water to lower the level. So I have a hard time believing it is all gone. There is no smell of chlorine and not sure if the neutralizer is removing the cholorine I am adding. Pool is not green at all. So just at a loss and would appreicate some advice.
I thought my CYA was 40 but when I tested I got 20 and pool store got 30, but this is after some water replacement so not sure what it was prior.
Any advice would be helpful since if too high obviously do not want to swim. If the neutralizer is just eating up the chlorine I am putting in I have read it should be dissipated in a few days.
