just got good test kit. HELP PLEASE

Sounds to me like you're winning. You consumed free chlorine last night getting rid of your residual combined chlorine.

You report 0ish for CC, did the sample show pink when you added the R-0003?

[shub_31]

a hint of pink. i think half a drop would get rid of it im using 5ml test

[PoolDoc]

Shub, I really think you need to let your chlorine drop, and see what happens.

[shub_31]

sounds like a plan. starting now. just in time for 100 degree temps next to days to uck the chorine out. thanks

[shub_31]

Just had an idea. What if myCYA is lower than what i think. Would that explain the extra loss of chorine since my shock levels should be lower

[PoolDoc]

If you tested it correctly with the Taylor K2006, it's not lower than you think.

We don't fully understand all that goes on when you chlorinate pools; no one does fully understand all that chemistry. It gets very, very complex. So as a practical matter, we all have something of the attitude, that "if it's working, even if we don't understand, we should leave it alone".

Again, I think you need to apply some P.O.P., let the chlorine drop, use the pool, and see if all works OK.

Little concerned about the big drop in ff, it was 30ppm in the mourning
It 93 out and full sun all day would that do it
