Can't Get Clear (Have PS233 Results)

Thanks so much. While I have you Ive just converted over to bleach. My question is since my cya is 100 the amount of chlorine that I need to use is above the 5 on the scale. How do I measure. My Fc is 3 my cc is 0. My tc is 2.If fc + cc + tc why is my reading lower which is more important.

If fc + cc + tc why is my reading lower which is more important.

I'm guessing that was just a type-o. FC+CC=TC So, if your FC is 3 and your CC is 0 then your TC will also be 3. The CC is important because if it's more than .5 then you need to bring your chlorine up to "shock" level (depends on your CYA level) to get rid of the "useless" chlorine.

Thanks it was a type-o. What i need to know is since my cya is 100 and I need to have my level between 5 and 8 and the test kit only goes to 5, should i depend on the fc reading. When i ran my test fc was 3 and tc was 2 why are they not the same??
