Ok everyone, I've been avoiding posting, but I'm out of options.
I have an inground pebble tec pool/spa that I believe is approximately 18k gallons. I typically dose chemicals based on 20k in case my math is off.
I drained, cleaned and refilled the pool 2 years ago. Since then, I have struggled to keep chlorine in the pool. This year has been especially hard to keep chlorine in the pool. I had an algae problem recently as well, which would abate with high dose shock, but come back in a week or so.
I started the slam process last week and the pool cleaned right up within days. Water is crystal clear. I replaced the filters a few days into the process as well. My morning tests usually come back with less than 1 ppm of CC. However, for the OCLT, I'm dropping to between 1 and 3 ppm of FC when I started the night around 16 ppm of FC. I have been losing 15 ppm of FC nightly for the past 9 days!
Here are my current numbers using Taylor k-2006 FAS-DPD:
FC: 0
CC: 0
Ph: 7.6 (started process at 7.2)
TA: 100
CH: 580
CYA: 40
