Confusing info from Taylor Technical support

7 hours later and I'm down to 12ppm, while CC is at 0.

Any idea how much of the FC loss is due to the sun? I'm assuming I should wait until dusk to bring it back up to 25, is that correct?

If your CYA is 80, the sun isn't your problem. Something is being metabolized by your chlorine and you are going to have to keep raising back up to 25 until it stops!

To sum up my past few days:

Wednesday 9pm - shocked to 25 ppm
Thursday 8am - FC=5.0, shocked back to 25ppm
Thursday 3pm - FC 12.0, waited till evening to shock
Thursday 8pm - FC 8.5, shocked back to 25ppm
Friday 8am - FC 11.0, shocked back to 25ppm
Friday 9pm - FC 12.0,

Please increase my confidence that this is going to work. Also, I just got a CC reading for the first time tonight. Somewhere between .5 and 1 (I was testing on the 10 ml scale.)

I've been trying bleach from target, walmart, dollar tree, and today clorox from costco in an attempt to ensure that 6 percent is actually 6 percent.

Carl, I appreciate the help. As you well know, patience and persistence is powered by the knowledge that it's not all a futile effort. This forum rocks.

for the record, what amount of FC depletion should be my goal overnight? i.e. What is my goal or stopping point, do you think I need to keep shopping 2x a day?

Last night was down 8ppm.
