I am taking 2-3 soaks for 20 minutes a day. Last week I took 19 and once my wife came in. She only tubs once a week with me.
So... For this usage, is it better to shock 2 times a week, rather than one time? Or is 2 shocks a week overkill if I add a little dichlor after every soak, which I do.
When I shock I use 1 tablespoon of MPS (as recommended for 250 gallons) , but that doesn't seem to raise the chlorine level, so how do I know it is working? Once I use up what is left of my old bottle of MPS, I am going to go with Enhanced Shock by Bioguard, which is what my dealer gave me. I notice it is about 50/50 dichlor with MPS.
I add 1/2 teaspoon of dichlor for my 250 tub after each soak, which keeps the test strip purple at 3-5 ppm.
