Ascorbic acid, chlorine and TA (long)

Oh, and my chlorine was 0 to start. I just was not expecting the chlorine demand after treatment, or the increase in alkalinity.

Thanks,

You will start to hold chlorine when all the ascorbic acid is out of the water, it is always good to put in maintanence doses of metal free each month too.
