I'm sorry, I missed something. Your FC in the bucket test started at 25ppm? and 1/2tsp 12.5% bleach got you to 56ppm? or - ah, I see. You started the bucket test after your 10:30 reading today - right? OK I suppose I wasn't clear - I'm sorry - I gave you the bucket test to save you from using full doses on your pool so you could see that you can clear the pool if you keep at it. I expected to get your bucket to the 20-30ppm FC level, 60 is alot. But since you've already got the pool to 25ppm FC, dump the bucket in the pool and rinse it out. If you start to lose faith that this will work and you don't want to spend so much on bleach to prove it, we can fill it again.
Be careful with that bucket, it's got alot of bleach in it.
Do not try to bring your pool to 56ppm FC.
To clear the CC you have to maintain shock level, not let it drift down. Since you're there now, keep it there. Eventually, you'll oxidize all the stuff in your pool that's showing up as CC, the CC will go to 0 and you'll start keeping FC overnight.
Really you will.
