When I do a final shocking, do I need to wait for chlorine levels to drop to a certain ppm? If so, what ppm would I aim for? Or can I just shock, add everything else, then close it?
My total chlorine right now is a bit too high and I definitely need to get rid of those chloramines before closing everything up, just don't know how much free chlorine concentration is ok when putting the cover on for the winter.

What are your latest test results? It’s unlikely your chlorine is too high. TFP doesn’t endorse “final shocking” depending on what that actually is.
