Clear, but no chlorine???

Sounds right.
If CC goes to 1.5, wait for it to come back down. If it continues climbing - it may take additional action. Let the pool get all the sun it can.

Ok- so by wait you mean do not add any bleach, just keep testing and see if CC goes down ( or stays at 1) at lower FC level, yes?

[CarlD]

Yes. That's what everyone here has been telling you. Please re-read Ben's last post, above. He's said clearly that you need to let FC drop to 10%-15% of CYA and leave it there.
So if CYA is 60, FC should be between 6-9ppm. If CYA is 90, FC should be between 9 and 13.5ppm. Etc.

THEN see what happens to CC.

[mary jo]

got it.
