Test results on new pool in Tucson

[Wilco]

Ok. I suppose kids need to stay out of pool if I am shocking that high? Also, I am going to start spreading my bleach purchases around. I already had comment from checker about how many bodies I was trying to get rid of. ( I know that's lime, but we are talking walmart here)

Also, this is a dumb question, but when doing the cl testing(10cc) do the 2 scoops of powder need to be close to exact? Going over or under affect the testing? It seems not, but assumptions .."...

Let them swim, especially as your CC is low. Just don't wear expensive swimwear. And don't worry about green hair!

Personally I would recommend only using 1/2 scoop of powder. Whatever you do, just be consistent.

[Watermom]

No, the scoops of powder do not have to be exact at all. In fact, if one scoop turns the sample pink, you don't need to put the second scoop in.

Allright, will repost results tomorrow am, ty

Wilco, when you have time (hahaha) think about making a signature and also becoming a subscriber! Both can be done through the settings link at the top of the page.

This is a perfect time to scrub out and around the edges of your skimmers, jets, stairs (especially if removable), maybe even behind your lights. I just came back from helping someone who just moved into a house with a cloudy pool. Every single crevice and hide-y place was LOADED with green algae. Yuck. Also, run water through any lines you may not be using: stair jets, fountains, slides, etc.
