    Adding 2.8gals of 6% bleach would raise FC by 6-7ppm in a 26k Gal pool, depnding on how strong the 6% bleach actually was (can be as high as 8%).

    Typically, 1 gal of 6% Bleach will raise FC by 6ppm in a 10k gal pool.

    pool still covered, but actually tested all parameters today.
    Since the previous post, I added 4 cups MA, over 3 days.
    FC 10
    CC 0
    TA 40
    CH 150
    CYA 40-50
    pH 7.4

    my guess now is that there was still some Cl in the pool, and the additional just pushed it higher- teach me to assume!
    The pH I guess was the result of circulating the water over several days...
    Since the Cl is holding up, and no CC, I think I'm in good shape for removing the cover and starting the season!
    Probably taking off cover this weekend, and then retest in a few days- hoping my temp holds, is at 68F now!
