Is there a swimming pool water technician in the house?
I have a 16' x 32' in-ground swimming pool. The water is clear and all of the chemicals are balanced except for one problem. I have a combined chlorine reading of 4 - 5 ppm. I have been maintaining a free chlorine level above ten for a few days now in an attempt to break up the CC but it is not working.
I started out with CC of 7.5 and was able to lower it by adding 4 gallons of 12.5% liquid chlorine and it did lower the CC to about 4.5. Now I don't want to bleach the vinyl liner so I have been adding 2 gallons of liquid at a time and maintaining free chlorine above ten but the CC is staying level at 4.5 for days.
Any help?
