So the 4.26 gallons of 6% Clorox last night was not enough? You said "make sure you are getting your CL to shock levels". How do I do make sure? I'm new with using Clorox as shock, so I guess I need more help understanding this.
Thanks.

No. It was plenty.

Are you calculating how much bleach to add using the bleachcalc? If not, how?

Are you familiar with the "best guess" table on this forum?

Reply and I'll respond right back.

I have a chart that I made from the Bleach Calculator that says to get 10 ppm I need to add 268.8 ounces of 6% Bleach.
I figured I needed to get to 15 ppm, which would add another 50% of bleach, or 403.2 ounces. 268.8 times 1.5 Correct?
Since I added 4.26 gallons last night, that's 546 ounces!

I am going to PM you so we don't bore everyone with the details. If you don't get the PM in the next few minutes, post back and we'll burn up some 0's and 1's on the forum

4.26 gallons would take you to 20 ppm. For 10 ppm you need 2 Gallon(s), 0 quart(s), 2 cup(s) and 1 ounce(s). Seems to me like you have an old version of the bleach calc.
