    I think electric is about .17 per kWh but I'd have to look. Only water feature is the water slide, no waterfall or spa.

    Ok I'll get some de tomorrow, I have added it two times before the first time the pressure went up really high really quick, second time I didn't put enough de in. I was also thinking about vacuuming to waste also.

    No more test strips. Water looks a little bit better I can see more of the drop off clearly. I'm getting discouraged quickly though. It's been NINE days, and with my 2hp pump running 24/7 I know I'm gonna have an extremely high electric bill, and my pool still isn't near swimable

    Chlorine stayed above 10 all day without adding ANY chlorine. I brought it up to about 16 last night and now probably 22 hours later its at about 11. Should it be using more is is that about accurate?? I'm adding more now to bring it back to about 15-16

    I brought it to the local pool store, figured I'd subject myself to some high pressure salespeople lol. On the paper it says 6.5 but she said their computer won't display anything lower and mine was about 6.0
