Pool out of balance! Pool party this weekend!

Well my FC only dropped .5 but my CC went up .5

FC - 5.5
CC - 1
TC - 6.5
TA - 180
PH - 7.5
CL - 5
CR - 10

Shock again?

Maintain shock level (as described in Pool School) until you meet the three criteria listed in RED in my sig

That sucks

The good thing is that once you satisfy all three prongs and can let the FC fall back down to normal range (ie, stop maintaining shock level) you will have a truly trouble free pool and will unlikely find yourself having to go through this (at least to this extent) in the future. Well worth the learning curve - just stick with it!

TC - 11
TA - 170
PH - 7.2
CL - 5 Don't bother with the OTO test while shocking. It does, however, read/test to 5ppm and is a bullet proof test for the presence of chlorine.
BR - 10 Ignore the BR on the OTO test. This is only for bromine pools.
CYA - 30

Okay, good! If you meet the three criteria, you are done shocking
