    Can't clear my water!

    Or use Fiber Clear for the filter. Traps a lot more particles than DE does, washes off easier than DE, and is SAFE!

    The pool looks great and I have not had any more issues. All of my levels are great except for my CYA which is pretty low but it's not a big deal to me.

    Water Bugs

    Both of those look fairly similar. I dont see anymore in the water right now. If they appear again in the next day or so, I will try and look at one more closely. I bring my FC to 5 every night. This morning my FC was still 5 and my CC was 0.

    Dichlor

    Hey Tresmer, I would recommend you pick up some Fiber Clear from Leslie's ($13.49 sale right now) as well. This stuff really helps to filter out all the small stuff the intex filters can't. I have only been using it for a day now and the results are amazing. Good luck with your pool!

    oops, don't know how I left that out. I edited my post. My FC is still sitting at 5 this morning and the water is looking amazing. That fiber clear works great!
