Here I go again. Just for curiosity I took a sample to the pool store (around 5:00 pm) and checked it again myself around 8:30 pm with the Taylor kit. We had another thunderstorm with heavy downpours. The readings changed a lot from this afternoon.
fcl 5 (pool store 3.8)
tcl 10 (pool store 9.8)
ccl 5 (pool store told me I didn't have any combined chlorine)
alk 140 (140)
cya 50 (40)
ph 7.4 (7.4)

Where do I go now? I was hoping I was through with the combined chlorine...especially when I still didn't have any at 1:00 pm this afternoon after adding the bleach last night.
or did the rain have anything to do with that?
