Question

I just double shocked my pool yesterday but my pool kit says I have no chlorine. The pool water looks clear.?

Answer 1

Depending on the level of conditioner, stabilizer or cyanuric acid, typically 30ppm your chlorine did not hang around but I don't know what level you shocked it too.  Additionally, your chlorine level could be so high the kits test chemicals are bleached out.  Have  your checked your pH?

Lastly assuming you had reason for double shocking your pool your test kit could be reading free chlorine and not total which may be where your chlorine is.

Take a sample of your pool water to a supply shop for additional testing for chlorine.

You're welcome!!
