    I'm hesitant to leave mine running so long unattended. But, mostly because of all the trees around. Especially right now, the trees are dropping an incredible amount into the pool. I have so many 'helicopters' falling out of my maple trees, that if I could sell them for a nickel a piece, I'd be rich!

    I got home last night, and pool looks really good! Woot, woot! No green algae, chlorine seems to be at 12 based on dilution test. Do I need to get back to shock level, i.e. 15 or just leave it alone??
    Also, I think there is some dead algae in the pool...looks like whitish dust. Do I need to vacuum? Will my Dolphin robotic cleaner get it up? Can I just leave it in there? Weather has cooled down so I won't likely swim for a week or 2 so am happy to avoid the vacuum.
    My new K2006 test is scheduled to arrive today.
    Thanks to all of you again for all your help.

    Welcome home, hope you had a great time.
    Since your K-2006 is coming soon, let's do this: Let's get the pool back to shock level and mainatain that until we can get reliable and accurate reading for CYA, FC and CC (with the new kit). If you have 2 gallons of bleach on hand, put 'em in now. Start the pump and leave it running - backwash as necessary when the pressure rises 8-10 above clean. If you don't have the K-2006 by this evening, test CL by dilution again and let us know.

    Just tested with my new K2006. Here are results, FC = 16, CC = .5 and CYA = 30. What's the next step...retest in the morning?

    Yep, as close as possible to sunrise. You want to find out if you've lost any FC overnight. The fact that you have .5 CC is significant: it means your chlorine is getting rid of something in your pool. In the morning, if you have lost no FC and have lss that .5 CC, you'll be ready to declare victory. At this point, you'll probably have to maintain shock for another day. You are very close, keep it up. let us know your readings in the morning.

    Congrats on the K-2006. I find it sooooo much eaisier than any other kit I've owned.

    Do I test FC, CC and CYA again or just FC and CC?
