Re: Low chlorine reading
CA 30
Hardness 250
ph 7.8
FC 0
TA 210
So after sundown at around 8 PM, I added 7 gallons of regular bleach. I tested after about 15 minutes and ph was WAY high but I figured it was a false read due to the bleach I just added. The FC was off the charts, my test strips went dark purple and my OTO was VERY yellow. I figured I was good for the night.
So now it's 11:40 PM and I figured I would re-test. FC is now VERY low, .6, and ph was back to 7.8. That tells me something is using up my chlorine at a CRAZY level. It went from somewhere over 10 ppm to almost nothing in a few hours. Now I think I am gonna have to go over the top with the bleach to kill whatever (amonia, bacteria or algae) is living in my pool.
Any thoughts here?
