Vinny,is clorin really cheaper?
Vinny,I've been having the same problem. Changed water a month ago, water is clear, but I could not get the chlorine down for a few days after shocking. I even left the cover off during the day, figuring it would burn itself out. Now it's ok, after all this waiting. All other readings are good. Good luck with your water. Did you go in tonight since the temp is down? ( it's cold outside ) We are practicly neighbors with you living in NJ.
QuoteVinny,is clorin really cheaper?Yup, $30 for 5 lbs that lasts about a year. I also use MPS to shock and once in a while some clarifier. I think I did a calculation once and it came out to about $110 a year when you add ALL the chems.
Just throwing this out but I remember someone in the pool store telling me about phosphates causing problems with chlorine readings. I don't remember all the incidentals, and I don't know how you could test for it, but Leslies makes a product to remove phosphates from swimming pool water. I guess depending on the source of your water, it is possible. There you go Vinny,....another experiment!
