Cannot unlock free chlorine HELP

Postby richr » Fri 11 May, 2007 22:08

Every year we have to shock our pool more then 9 bags to unlock the FC, This year I have done it twice and the last time with 12 bags. PH is 7.6, Alk is 90, CYA is 30, TDS is 900. The pool is approx 33,000 gal.

I still do NOT have F/C.

Pool is clean, fairly clear - NEED HELP as none of the pool people in my area seem to know how to deal with this problem. It's begining to make me a little crazy.

Thks

Try adding 5 gallons of sodium hypochlorite at 13% to the pool and see what is like 24 hours later with the pump running.

Please keep me posted. I am having so much trouble getting chlorine in my pool. I have been running my aquarite system 24/7 and I cannot keep chlorine in the pool (assuming there is even chlorine going into the pool). The system says it is generating but who knows. Goldline tells me that it is probably my phosphate level although it is fairly low at around 300. I will fix this and see. I hope that this super chlorination thing you are doing works and perhaps I should go ahead and do the same thing.
