I have added 5 jugs of bleach and still cannot get a good chlorine reading. Why would this be? I have a taylor test kit. Each gallon has a little over 6%
I have put in nearly 10 jugs of bleach it is all fresh and has over 6% in it.

I cannot get the CYA test to get cloudy water like the test kit suggest. So it is clear in the test tit
Gotcha. I was just assuming from a retailer. I can't find any bleach higher than 6 %You mention it is fresh. Are you taking that based on expiration date on the jugs or the fact it just came from a retailer?
I ask because Ace Hardware had 12% bleach jugs in 4 packs last year (2.50 a jug sale). It turned out they were near their expiration and were basically 3% bleach when used (using pool math calc to figure it out). Took me 1 case of 4 and 1 jug from a second before I put 2 and 2 together and returned them. The ace manager didn't understand at first when I tried to explain. We discussed the shelf life of 12% vs the lower 8.25 or 6%. He said they just got them in from the warehouse. Anyways, I always check jug expiration before buying from a retailer (and now know they print it on the box for those 4 packs as well).
Ok. I got you. But even if i put it in at night will it leave the next day. This is my first year trying the bbb method. I've normally spent hundreds at leslie'sIf you have zero CYA and full sun is hitting that water, the chlorine will be gone very quickly.
Like within an hour.
