First opening after installing generator

SWGs are designed to maintain the FC level, not shock a green swamp. If you need to shock, add bleach. Not only will it help preserve cell life, there is a difference between adding the correct amount of chlorine all at once and having it creep up over a 24 hour period. The former is much more effective.

Thanks. That is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure since it was the first time. We do cover so it shouldn't be too dirty.
