    Default Please help before I kill my pool or the bleach bill kills my wallet.

    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.

    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.
