thank you for the information. I am having a small issue here. Everytime people use the pool the free chlorine drops to 1 or 0. Everything else is testing fine and I can fix this problem by using hypochloritie shock but that is expensive to use every few days. Is there something else I can do to keep the chlorine level up even when people use the pool? I have 2 feeders floating with trichlor tablets.
