Welcome to our forum.
Reese and svspa, The 2-3 ppm FC after one's post soak dose is not my recommendation but rather Vermonter's.
... what if the PH is low but the TA is high? or is this even possible?
Thats , thats pretty much what i found. the 2ppm burned off rather quickly. i needed to add enough for a 4ppm reading so that i was able to maintain a 2ppm reading after about an hour. i did test this morning and I was down to barely a 1 reading so i added a tad more. my guess is because I was at 0 for 3-4 days there are a lot of contaminents that are using up the FC i plan to do a Shock of dichlor tomorrow night and i think I will be ok

The question that keeps going through my mind is: how do I know whether I'm doing it right? I mean, apart from reading the test strips, what are the signs that I'm not putting in enough dichlor? How long does it take them to show up?
