    I haven't added anything to the pool since opening. I was going to let the filter run for a couple of days, which it has now. As soon as I buy some bleach, I'll raise the FC, but should I raise it to shock levels (15) or max (6) or something else?

    BTW, thank you for all your help!

    Well, see what your levels are. If FC is within your range for your CYA, you have CC<0.5, and your water is clear, you can just go with your maintenance range. Some people on opening like to do a test overnight to see if they lose FC.

    We are all happy to help!

    I just checked Chlorine and pH again and I did lose a little FC = 2.4 ppm; CC = 0; pH = 7.6. Even though the test tube stays clear after adding the CC reactant, I notice the faintest of "pool smell." There is a lot of tree debris falling in the pool and clogging the filter.

    Lordy. I answered the wrong person! Yikes! Sorry about that!

    You still might want to do the overnight test to make sure!
