Medium yellow meaning slightly darker than color of 5ppm. I just retested chlorine with kit and got about the same as before (slightly darker than 5). Then I mixed 1/4 c. distilled water and 1/4 c. pool water and tested and got 5 ppm. so if I multiply that by 2, I'm at 10. Pool calculator says to go from 10 to 15 ppm, I need to add 1 gal., 3 qts and 1 c bleach (6%, I'm clear on that). After I add bleach and scrub, how often should l check to see if I'm at shock level? Also, is 3 to 1 dilution 3 parts pool water or 3 parts distilled water? Can you see that I am getting anal...
Does this sound correct?
Sure, I can leave the pump running. Thanks, I'm off to visit my daughter and her family. My 2 ADORABLE granddaughters (ages 8 1/2 and 7) LOVE the pool and go in NO MATTER WHAT the outdoor temperature is. Sometimes they aren't in long They first went "naked swimming" 2 days after Christmas 4 years ago. One of the funniest thing I have ever seen...lots of squealing!
I'll have to add you to my Christmas card list after all this help
