You shocked yesterday. Have you checked your fc today? Because, without stabilizer / cya it might already be gone.

Re: How long till chlorine level will drop
Ok, but my point was meant to say...
Your larger issue is not having cya. You'll loose fc very rapidly without it. How fast is based on many factors (algae, sun, etc). The only way to control the rate of loss is with cya.
What was your reading just after you shocked? That reading compared with now with will give you a good indication of the rate of decline for your situation.

Re: How long till chlorine level will drop
It was 15ppm yesterday after shocking. I just want to be able to use the pool come Saturday.

Checked your weather forecast...Haverhill will be sunny and hot next couple days. Your fc losses will be higher. Saturday is looking good.

Re: How long till chlorine level will drop
Cool. Will the solar cover slowdown the FC loss? Also, what is an acceptable FC level to swim in?

A solar cover shouldn't make much difference.
