Using Chlorine

[ericorlisa]

i shocked last night broght fc to 17.5 ppm. i checked this morning. cc-0 fc-16.5 and my ph went up its at 8.0 which is as high as my taylor 2006 kit will register. is it normal for ph to go up when using about 1.75-2.0 gal bleach?

Retest pH when the chlorine comes down. If you test while the chlorine is high (above 15ppm for a K-2006 I believe), you get a falsely high pH reading.

BTW -- Add a little info to your signature for us please. (volume, kind and size of filter, and the fact that you have a K-2006)

Thanks!

since there was no CC readings this morning should i continue to keep at shock level?

You should be fine to let it drift down.
