Thank you!

Hi. It's looking better. The pool is now back to blue. I can see the bottom of the pool but the water is still cloudy-ish. Should I keep adding the liquid chlorine? Anything else I should test for to clear up the cloudiness?

Was reading 14 this evening, put more bleach in and checked it about 4 hours later and it's holding steady right around 16. hoping I don't lose ground overnight. Normally every night it would drop to 12, so this hopefully is a good sign that it's stabilizing. Still green but stable.

Just tested it. Back down to 12 so added a little under 200 oz of bleach, as per calc.

Just tested the FC and now it's at 25.5. Is this ok?

Once it hits level 16, what happens? because I got it to 16, then it dropped back down again.

FC read 13 this morning but I had to work and just got home. Tested it and it was down to 4.5. So I added another 4 bottles of the liquid chlorine but the pool is still green. Can I backwash the pool during this process. It's so discouraging because the readings keep going up and down but...

Ok finally got it close. 15.5. Pool calc recommended 20 more oz so we'll see in the morning how it's doing

FC up to 13...added another bottle of liquid chlorine, as per calc. Will check again in the morning. Still green, thus far.

Also, scrubbed the bottom and sides of the pool so it kicked up some more green. The pool was still green today but definitely clearer. I tried getting a pic but my phone was taking fuzzy pics. WIll try to get one tomorrow.

FC dropped to 8.5 so it's calling for another 3 or so bottles of liquid chlorine, which I will put in now.

Fc at 13. Will add another bottle and see what happens!

FC reading 13. Adding another gallon, according to pool calc. CC is still at 1, though.

Yeah, pretty close! I haven't swam in it all year and last year had a week where it looked cloudy but blue-ish. this year I'm hoping to get 3-4 weeks. it's such a waste by the time it gets clear up here in the northeast!

haha very true. I edited my signature but I don't seem to see it saving with the info. Does it take time to show up? - - - Updated - - - nevermind, there it is
