    After I test at dusk, generally I am at about 21. I add enough bleach to bring it up to 25 and then overnight I go down again when I test in the morning before sun up. I add mor bleach to bring it up again trying to hold that 25ppm as I was advised. It just evades me! PH is 7.4 but I understand that may not be correct because of high FC that I am trying to hold on to.

    If it's only dropping to 21 or higher, you are FINE! If everything else is now good, you can let the chlorine gradually come down to the maintenance level and go swimming!
