So my FC will not stabilize. Had it tested and it was .14. CYA was also super low at 5. Followed Leslie’s instructions and shocked it and added their instant conditioner. FC came up some and of course stabilizer takes awhile to show impact. Decided to follow SLAM directions from here and added a gallon of liquid chlorine last night which brought it up to about 3. But by this morning it is back to zero basically.
So something is eating my chlorine. So my question is if I need stabilizer to help maintain the FC but it takes so long for the added stabilizer to show up on a test, then how do I know how much of each to add to SLAM it. If my CYA is basically nothing per my Taylor test, then won’t FC just keep getting burnt off until I get my CYA up? But if takes a week to register on the test then I have to wait a week to accurately SLAM the pool?
Thanks for any help! We don’t a have a leak but it’s hot here so will need to add an inch of water to the pool today if it doesn’t rain this afternoon.
