At My Wits End

FANTASTIC NEWS!

There is some progress! The water is MUCH lighter now. It's almost a Carribean blue now. SOMETHING is working..

My numbers seem weird to me though:

Chlorine (using OTO) - bright orange-y yellow with one drop
Ph: 7.4
TA: 100
CYA: 50-60??

Is it normal for my CYA to go UP? I didn't add anything except the bleach.

Should I continue to shock the pool until it's crystal clear?

Don't worry about testing other values for now -- you may not get accurate results.

But, I'd try to hold the chlorine high for a couple of days, before letting it drop.

Okay!

I got my drops today. My VC (right now) is at 20 and I have no CC.. is that bad?

A CC reading of 0 is good! It is what you want!
