Free Chlorine problem

[waterbear]

Ok on the tabs , didn't realize that they can cause problems, I am testing with the same brand as always and still no pink at all. is it possible that the chlorine level is so high it will register on the chlorine tab and just bleaching out the free chlorine tab ? can;t believe it be this clear and not have free chlorine. this inline system is called frog and you instead this plastic cylinder
that cost like 18.00 and is probably a rip off.

I will get a liquid test kit and check back.

Thanks !!

Yes that is the ionizer system that I was referring to. You might want to read this thread by PoolDoc (the forum's moderator) about such systems!

The chlorine tabs are trichlor which contains CYA (stabilzer) and constant use will elevate your stabilzier levels and require that you run higher free chlorine levels and shock levels as the CYA levels increase. This is why most of the people on this forum use bleach which is unstablized chlorine after adjusting their CYA to the level they want. For more info check out this thread!

As I stated previously, certain Free Clorine tests can bleach out with high levels of chlorine in the water. An FAS-DPD test is the only way to accuately measure free chlorine levels above about 10 ppm that is generally available to pool owners.
Hope this info is helpful to you!
