    30 ppm prior to vacation, ESPECIALLY with possible hidden mustard algae.

    Then, look at things when you get back. If there is hidden mustard algae, you'll probably have patches of it when you return.

    Thanks PoolDoc.

    Last night I took the FC level to 34 at 8:30pm (sunset). At 6am (sunrise) the FC was at 29 (loss of 5 ppm overnight). And at 1pm the FC was 21. I am leaving for 3 days and am very concerned about not having enough chlorine in the pool to last even if I take it to ~ 30.

    Watermom said that she would never take a vinyl pool to 39, so I would like to know what is the level I should take it to before I leave, knowing the losses I have been experiencing?

    As an FYI, over the last 3 days the pool has been clear and there has been no greenish spots, and the CC is close to 0.

    This is getting very frustrating, as I really want this to work, but I cannot see myself continuing to dump gallon after gallon of bleach in this pool everyday. Any further assistance would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
