Pool Survived Vacation! ?? Chlorine levels

That's probably too much. Try 4Cups (1qt). and lets see where that moves your FC, CC and pH. What is your pH now, after the rain?

PH 7.3..Just added 4 cups shock..When should I test again? tonight right?

[BigDave]

Can you test about an hour after adding the liquid chlorine? Let's see where that moves the FC, CC and pH.

OK Added additonal 2 cups shock and PH is LOW 7.0 so adding Borox too. WHAT HAPPENED HERE??? Oh water still clear...

[BigDave]

Can you test again this morning? I think your pool my be starting an algae bloom. Are the walls slippery? Is the water clear?
