    Default Re: Chlorine Lock ????

    Ok, the reults are in :
    On the Lamotte kit, FCL is .41
    TCL is 1.45
    On the FAS-DPD kit it turned a tinge pink when the dpd powder was put in, then 1 drop of R-0871 cleared it up , which should indicate .5 FCL , then 5 drops of R-0003 turned it pink , then 2 drops of 0871 turned it clear which should indicate 1.0 of CC , I don't know if that means we are coming closer to solving this, I did put in the 10 pounds of Calcium hypo into the skimmers at 10:30 am before leaving to a meeting , and the pool is cloudy due to the chemicals. I did these CL tests at 4:45pm, the Ammonia test came out with 0.25 ppm (mg/L) so I don't think ammonia is the problem. There is no visible algae, no alge on the floor. I'm going crazy .....Should I use 8 gallons of 6% bleach overnight ???
