Anyone having trouble with Salt test?

Jeffski,
With a TC of 1.5 and FC of .7, I'd get some bleach in the water pronto while you sort out the SWC issues. You don't want a green mess on your hands. You can use bleach to get a shock level in your pool according to the best guess chart and your CYA level. Maintain that until your TC = FC, then go to the maintenance level for FC.

Builder is going to send someone out to look at the SWG. After 100lbs of salt the pool is testing consistently at 3300ppm. Unit still doing nothing.

FC down to almost zero. How many gallons of bleach should I add to shock it? If I do that this morning, how long before the kids can swim?

Update:

FC 0 - adding bleach today until SWG is fixed
CYA - 35
PH 7.5
TA 180
Salt 3300

Does it make sense that my CYA would drop like that? It was 70 two days ago (or at least that's what the pool store said). These results are from my drop test kit.

Added bleach to shock. Chlorine is at about 15 but sunlight will drop it quick. Hopefully SWG will be fixed today.

When is it safe for my kids to swim? Is there a magic chlorine number? Do kids always have to stay out when the pool is shocked or just in extreme cases?

Thanks again.

Think I found the answer, or lots of opinions at least, here:
