So, am I ready to ROCK???

From my understanding the biggest problem with superchlorinating with the cell is not the shortening of the cell life (although that IS a concern) but that the FC levels rise slowly over the period and during this certain types of complex chloramines can form when FC levels are high but below breakpoint that make it more difficult to reach breakpoint than if the proper amount of chlorine is added all at once to reach a desired ppm of FC. (Richard or anyone else please correct me if I am wrong on this, my research indicates this is true).

I wasn't aware of that. I was under the assumption that shocking with the SWCG was as effective. If that is not the case, then I will have to reconsider my plan. Has PoolSean ever given an opinion on this?

PB went out and called me to let me know that he back washed and it was very dirty. He said in less then 1 hour, now the lower end of the pool , now that you can see the floor.
