Test results on new pool in Tucson

[Wilco]

Retested 8 hrs later, upper 90's here today. FCl down to 4ppm.

Okay, good. Get FC up to >=10 by sundown. (Btw, wait at least one hour after adding bleach and then retest FC to confirm exact results during overnight testing. You won't have to do this once your water becomes stable). Then run overnight test. Would you like me to detail those steps for you?

Also, very jealous of your temp! We hit a high of 60 today!

Hah! Can't make up it's mind if it's fall or still summer here in North-central NJ! Was cool all day, then I was out working on the pool rebuild. Went out a little later, just as evening was coming on, expecting it to cool down and it was hot and muggy! Tomorrow it could be 60 or 85 and the opposite on Saturday. Weather/Temp wise, September is generally a pain in the neck here in NJ.

Getting late here. Just in case you need instructions for the overnight test:
An hour after your last additions, test FC and CC final readings and write them down. At sunrise, or no more than 1/2 hour after sunrise, test FC and CC again. Report both your evening and morning results.

I had to go out last night, but my last test showed 4ppm, added a gallon of bleach. Tested this am,still 4ppm at ph of 7.6

At sunrise, or no more than 1/2 hour after sunrise, test FC and CC.

Actually, as long as you test within an hour of sunrise, you are ok.

[Wilco]

So at this rate I'm doing about a gallon of bleach a day. That seems unsustainable.

I am in meetings all day with only short breaks so hopefully someone will jump in here. Since you lost about 6ppm FC overnight, you have a chlorine demand that will take time, energy, and faith to get rid of.

But, if you commit to the process, eventually you will get to the point where you only have to use about 2 jugs a week, not a jug/day.

For now, keep putting in bleach and raise that FC. I will check in later.
