Re: Ton of rain...CYA / CC /FC question. Where did I go wron
Everyone, I think the mystery has been solved. And to tell you the truth, I feel somewhat foolish about the whole situation. BUT, maybe my little situation here can be a learning lesson for someone else in the future.
Turns out, when my wife was doing the FC tests, after she would put in the tiny scoop of powder she would rinse off the scoop in the pink water. Then, it would go back in the test kit and sit there until it was called into duty the next time. This undoubtedly was tainting all of the future samples. When I looked in my test kit last night, there was what seemed to be blood in the little partition of the kit where the scoop sits. After a few questions I found out the above was happening.
Sooooooo, now it is crystal clear in my house that all testing equipments gets rinsed off and dried prior to and after testing. I did an overnight OCLT and lost .5 FC's and my CC's was 0.0. Water is crystal clear and has never looked more perfect.
While there is no doubt in my mind that there was something up in my pool after the huge rainstorm last Sunday, I also think the pool was never as "out of control" as I imagined. The whole time the culprit was a 10 cent scoop that never took a bath!
Lesson learned (bangs head)....I need a drink!
