Pool Opening Problems.

[TheGoose]

I'm running the cell on low power to supplement the shock. Sorry for the confusion. I oversized my cell by 2x so it is capable of "shocking" the pool.

Unfortunately I'm short on time and long on work. I'm gone about 14-16 hours per day and right now my schedule is about 7 days a week so I'm just unable to physically check on the pool every 2-3 hours like I should while starting it up.

Just checked the chemistry.
FC = .5
CC = 1.6-1.8 ( is that right?)
--That is the last of the powder until my new batch arrives this week. Should have sent away for it earlier. Doh!!
Still have the OTO, which seem to work "OK" for my immediate needs.

TA = 60. Figured it would be low after the acid over-dose.
pH = 7.0, maybe slightly more.
CH = 200

I know my FC is way low, but I'm out of all chlorine. I just dumped my last two jugs of 10% in the pool. That's the trouble with BBB-lugging the danged jugs and storing them. Do you think I can use chlorinated granules? Much easier to transport and store for the mean-time.

I'm also out of the CYA reagent, so no numbers there but fortunately we are rainy right now and there is very little sunlight.

==================================================

Had a lot of rain yesterday, at least a couple of inches. Mother Nature sure isn't making things easy on me.
