I am mostly just venting/complaining... But i truly don't understand why I'm maintaining 4-5ppm fc while cc is also staying in the high teens. The bucket test might tell me when to expect the light at the end of he tunnel but it doesn't get me there any quicker. I suppose I will just keep plugging away...
As for CYA, poolcalc says I should have 23ppm, but I haven't tested since right after adding the dichlor. Should I do so now? And the pool is covered most of the time. It's an auto-cover, but without a fence I have to keep it closed when I'm not around (neighbor has a toddler). I have been trying to leave it open as much as possible though.
Getting to Sam's is not easy, and I still have 19 lbs of dichlor. Until I can get the trichlor, what do you recommend? And how does putting trichlor run higher CL through pipes/filter but not the pool?
And thanks for all the help!
