With your help.. we are going from mess to success!

[senniss]

Free Chlorine reading now is 2.3
Chlorine (misprinted earlier) is still at 17
PH is up to 7.4 !!! 3/4 box did it perfectly!!
CYA is still at 30
TA is still 120

So.. with that said (sorry about the boo boo before).. Do we have to wait patiently on the chlorine to lower? We haven't added any Clorox today at all.. last time we added was yesterday at 5pm.. and the reading is still holding..

I'll have to add some water tonight so I can vacuum tomorrow, which I know will mess with the levels some, and I will adjust accordingly.. Just wondering about the shock level and waiting for it to come down now...

Thank you for your help!

Glad you got your pH up. 7.4 is a good level. TA is also ok. I still think there is a problem with your chlorine numbers. What type of test kit are you using? Can you explain the procedure you are using to get the cl readings? Something is not right or else you have a big problem on your hands if your CC reading really is that high! (Remember FC + CC = TC so if your numbers are right, then you have a CC reading of nearly 15 which is NOT a good thing!! I'm really hoping it is a testing error!

if senniss is SHOCKING.. maybe the FC reading is 17 makes since for a shock level.. and 2.3 might be the CC. Just guessing.
