    Default Re: Test results on new pool in Tucson

    Oh my. You want a minimum 10 ppm FC (free chlorine) in your pool. You have Tri-Chlor pucks. They add FC but also add CYA and you don't want more CYA. You mentioned Di-Chlor, same thing. HTH shock adds FC but also adds calcium and your CH is high enough. You have used bleach (sodium hypochlorite), which will add FC but not affect CH or CYA. Is there any particular reason you prefer not to continue using bleach?
