Personally I'd just maintain normal CL levels (3-6 for a CYA level of 40) since they weren't in there very long. Perhaps I just have a higher ick factor tolerance.

Yeah I wasn't sure, kinda felt like Watermom yeech! but when my pool store said 3 cases I said NO WAY. After I super shocked it to 5.0 I 'm sure it will be fine. I'm going to keep it high for at least a week, and beside we wont be swimming for 2 weeks anyway

I only trust the k-2006 titration is better for me

With a CYA of 40, chlorine of 5ppm is not at shock level. Shock level would be 15ppm. See the Best Guess Chart here for the connection between CYA and chlorine. http://pool9.net/cl-cya/

need to add enough chlorine to bring it to 15. Pool store said 3 cases chlorine could that be right? 12 bottles of 12.5%

How much is in a bottle? Still sounds like a lot for your pool.Originally Posted by dansdad

One quart of the 12.5% should add about 2.5ppm of chlorine to your pool. One gallon would add about 9.5. Use these as a reference to figure out how much you need to add after you test, to take your chlorine level up to 15ppm.
