You literally just gave me the answer to all problems I’ve been running into! Thank you!!!
-
LOVE your videos - they are incredibly helpful!
-
Love this information,you guys are so helpful.
-
Thanks for making this easy to understand and actually what to do. So many just talk about, "it could be this, or it could be that".
-
This video is nicely done, however it does not address the issue of having high total chlorine, and very low/no free chlorine. This is what the chlorine lock reference is about, or at least when I have heard it used. The video ambiguously refers to 'chlorine levels' throughout, and does not differentiate btwn the two (really there are three chlorine levels if you throw is combined).

Thank you guys
-
Thank you for the very helpful information.
-
As Mike L said, this is happening to me right now and this video couldn’t come at a better time, thank you so much. The pool is getting a shocking tonight lol 😂
-
We where adding tons of chlorine. Not until we tested and found high phosphate levels (we live near a bunch of farms) and took care of that issues no amount of shocking and additional chlorine could get our chlorine level to increase.
-
Awesome video! Came at the perfect time for me! You rock. Quick question though. My look was Chrystal clear despite not being able get get chlorine up. PH and Alk were good. Triple shocked last night and now my pool is super cloudy right before the weekend! Help!!
-
Will try this tonight... All my levels are in range except the chlorine level, it stays at .5 or less and I added about 3/4ths of a gallon of liqud chlorine and still low reading.. I'll super shock tonight and hopefully this works!
-
I put 2lba of shock . Let it sit over night. And it's all clear but cloudy. I put some ph in it. And a bottle of I bought XtraBlue Algaecide 40 oz. Algae Prevention and Algaecide and Xtra shock. I put it in the morning and I let it sit for 2 hours and then the ph

oh man thank you so much for this video and it couldn't have come at a better time...i'm having this EXACT issue right now and its getting frustrating. It all adds up though all of the reasons you said. Really appreciate you sir keep up the good work very glad I subscribed to your email list.
-
Thanks. Just discovered the same issue. We’d put chlorine in and in a few hours, it would be gone.
-
Just wondering if there is a video physicals showing the process? It would really help this new pool owner. Thank you 🙏🏼

Opening a late covered pool & pool was still cloudy after 2 weeks. Pool store told me I have chlorine lock. Test kit was bright yellow. They sold me non-chlorine shock, & it finally started to clear up. 3rd week in opening a late covered pool. Who knows?? But I’m finally seeing the light(bottom)

Is there a good way to work out your daily Chlorine usage ? I'm running into an issue whereby if I run my SWG at 50 % it doesn't seem to produce enough, but if I set it to 60% its seems to be too much. I need to know how much Chlorine Im losing per day so I know how long to run the SWG and at what %.

Always make sure total chlorine n free chlorine are even or your swimming in chloramines
