First time posting on TFP and a few questions that I've had come up over the last 2 years of having a pool.
Start off with how long after shocking pool does the cl return to normal levels? Based off the cya chart I shock to 16 ppm it seems to take a long time to settle back down. Cya is around 40.
2. Who decided trichlor shock was a good idea? Bought 3 bags by accident and don't care to run cya up.
3. Apparently in Illinois we have a Monsoon season have had 3" of rain in the last 24 hours and same last weekend, what is the best way to keep chemistry in check?
As of about an hour ago:
FC 14 (shocked last night)
CC 0
PH 7.6
TA 100 ( working down started at 280)
CYA 30 ( was 40 yesterday)
As of last night pre shock and 3" of rain)
FC 3.5
CC 0
PH 7.0
TA 100
CYA 40
