Super low pH (and other problems)

I like those forms, especially as often as I'm now checking the pool.

It looks great - not quite crystal, but I can see the bottom easily.

When I do the CC portion of the chlorine test, and add the 5 drops, it's clear (no change at first) and after it sits for 20-30 sec it gets a real slight pink tint, that one drop of the other solution clears right up. Does this mean I've gotten rid of the the CC, or that there's somewhere between 0-0.5 left?

Thanks,
Matt

Don't worry about low CC residuals. The DPD test is not perfect. I'm not sure what some of those residuals are, but I've seen them on pools I was running, when there was NO problem with the water -- crystal clear, no irritation, etc. Remember the goal is not perfect numbers, but a great pool -- and they are NOT the same thing.

Pool looks good, not perfect, but close.

So I can back off from shock to maintenance chlorine levels?

Give it a try.
