    Default How Much Bleach

    My current levels are;

    FC 2.5
    CC 0.5
    TC 3.0
    PH >7.0 (I just finished dropping my ALK and aeration is ongoing)
    TA 90
    CH 80
    CYA 55

    How much Walmart 6% do I need to add to get a 2.0ppm rise? Is there a standard calculator located on the forum?

    My pool is a AG 17,500 gallon.

    Sorry, the Ph is less than 7.0, not greater than.

    In 17,500 gallons of water, each 2.5 quarts of 6% chlorine should give you just over a 2 ppm chlorine rise. There are a couple of pool calculators you can use--one is www.thepoolcalculator.com, and the other one is Bleachcalc. I prefer Bleachcalc for ease of use, but I have it set on my desktop so I'll have to look around the forum for the link to it. When I find it I'll try to come back and post it here.

    Thanks Watermom, my Ph is now just over 7.0. I've had good luck with aeration.
