Hey folks,
Latest test after about 1.5" of rain today: FC 8.5 (seems high), CYA 50, PH 7.5, TA 110.
I was about to do my weekly shock when I realized the FC is on the high side. I did have pucks in the skimmer throughout the week. They've since dissolved. Should I hold off on shocking this week and perhaps keep an ey on the FC level? Maybe add a couple of pucks once the sun hits the water again? It haas been cloudy the past two days.
I have a few other sort of related questions:
1. Do you prefer powder or liquid CL for shock?
2. Regarding pucks, how many per week should I be adding typically? I assume more of it's sunny and warm with more swimmer activity?
3. When backwashing, do you do one backwash cycle then rinse (I've done 90 second BW followed by 75 second rinse)? I've come across info that states two cycles of each is a good idea.
Thanks in advance!
