Are we doing it right?

Okay, it's the wife here (the one maintaining the pool). Now, our CC is too high. We only lost 4PPM of chlorine all day today, so I think we're making progress. But, now I am concerned about the CC being too high. I've read that it says to shock it to get rid of the CC, but how much? I am already at 17PPM FC.

FC: 17
CC: 1.5
CYA: 100
PH: 7.4

Losing 4 ppm of chlorine during the day is not an indication of a problem . . . especially if you had some swimmers. 1.5 ppm CC might, or might not, be a problem.
