well its the recycling but also the trips to the store. i did find 3 gallon packs of clorox at costco for $8.07, which is a little cheaper than the generic walmart stuff. you guys first said to shock to 15, and then 25. guess i was trying to split the difference and not use 8 gallons of bleach a day. my wife thinks im crazy. but i see that you feel that going higher will unlock this problem. i just dont understand what we are unlocking. there is no algae, the water is crystal clear, and isnt cya a stabilizer of cl? i know ots too high, but shouldnt it theoretically keep the cl up there?
anyway, last night i was at 3ppm, added 3 gallons, up to 17ppm. had to go out for the evening. rechecked this am, 8ppm. should i be adding bleach in ams as well?
