When I started my Slam I had a FC of 0 and CC = 1.5. I followed process, testing 3x daily and brushing/vac. I was almost there CC= 0 and OCLT = 1.5 and I ran out of liquid CL. It sat for 1.5 days and FC dropped off to 2.5.
Today, I resumed after lunch. I added 2.5 gal per Pool Math to get to 16 (CYA = 40) and then checked it about 4 hours later. FC only rose to about 6.5 - 1st wierd reading cuz my Pool Math is calibrated. Think nothing of it and add 2 gal of liquid to get it to 16. I just checked it (abt 4hrs later) and it was only at 9.2! I added another 1.5 gal just now but since 1pm (8hrs total) today I have added almost 6 gal of chlorine to get from 2.5 to 16.
Per PM, my FC should be almost 35!! I checked the age of my reagents and dates are 5/22. I use a Taylor DPD kit and a speed stir - never had probs before. My water is crystal clear with nothing green in sight and it was brushed and vac'd after 1st add today.
Now....the liquid I used was not from my usual place but it was Hasa and 12.5%. I confirmed that PM was using the right concentration.
What gives? Any ideas?
