    Ok I just made new entries for 5:45 pm..FC down to 7.5 and CC .5. Probably down due to periods of intense sunlight and periods of rain storms. Right? ALSO have clear solar cover on ..if that makes difference...
    I did NOT lose chlorine during night. Dave said to give it two nights. So I put in enough bleach to bring it back to a FC15 and hopefully I will hold this reading for the morning.
    IF SO, do I then let it fall naturally back down to a reading between FC3 and FC 6 per Best Guess Chart???

    1ppm FC or less loss overnight AND 0.5 ppm CC or less AND clear water PLUS 1 day - Shock finish point.
    After shock, let FC fall to maintenance range. Never let it fall below minimum.
    Have a good one!
    Be well
