7:00AM Whoohoo **** Yea! Its GOOD FC 17.5 CC 0 From brown mosquito infested compost pile swamp. To cool blue ocean! The proof is in the pictures!

Update... Still have continued testing and keeping FC level at or above 20FC at all times. We had some weather come in friday and pool got a little dirty. Since I havent put the solar cover on it yet this year and wanted to wait till done with SLAM. Cover was stored for the winter. This...

Delayed 5:30AM FC 20.5 CC 0.5 Idk i guess it passed the trial run. I need to vac it again. I boosted again this morning to keep it in shock level during the day today. Supposed to be another sunny hot day again.. So if I get the same results or better again tomorrow morning I will conclude...

8:30PM Sunset The evening results are in! FC 21.5 CC 0.0 Full 10ml test Hope it holds overnight! Fingers Crossed!

110hr update. Boosted to 30 this morning. It was down to 15. Another super sunny 93 degrees. The major loss of FC has me thinking that my CYA is around 20 maybe 30. Im trying to hold out on adding CYA till SLAM is over due to not knowing my PH level anymore. So tonight is gonna be the...

Looking good. Dont let that FC drop. Brush brush brush

Keep on it. Dont let it drop.. I tried to stay between 20 and 30. Worked great. I also brushed everyday. Sometimes twice.

Dont think im out of the woods just yet. I brushed last night before taking my final evening reading. This morning I was able to beat the sunrise so it was all overnight loss. FC 25 CC .5 I guess it barely changed at all. Ill keep it at shock level still. This again was a 5ml test so not...

Sunset... FC 29... try to stay between 20-30ppm at all times CC .5 I say this although I did the 5ml test as I think if I did the 10ml test it would be .5ppm. So pumps running as it has been for the past 4 days. Any guess to what the overnight loss will be? I will try to beat the sunrise...

The aftermath! Good thing its recycle night!

TADA! its BLUE! Its not done yet still some more to go im sure. But its blue again. Big time loss of FC today it was 16ppm when I got home. Dumped 64oz in right away. Im going to brush the dusty spots and take a final evening reading at sunset. Curious to see how much it looses over...

I contribute alot of my success to the fact my pump and filter is overkill for my pool

Im not changing anything till its good. Im getting results from what I have been doing so I am gonna continue.

Like I said it was a accidental overage. Plus the sun eats it right up. It needs more CYA or it will drop under shock level during the day.

I have bumped as high as 34. It was a accidental overage. But the sun eats it up so it doesnt stay there long. What did your PH look like? 7.2 7.4 is best for the most effect from FC outside that performace is deminished.

I had origionally was using 18 as my minimum FC level dont let it drop. After I found that my CYA was lower then 20 i was ok with the 18 level. Now that I have added some CYA cuz the sun was eating it all i moved up to 20. I boost to 30 and dont let it drop below 20. It still needs some more CYA...

Oh my neighbor hates me. His pool was prob the shade of green mine is now. All last year. He still doesnt believe me that I only use bleach... he has a 21 foot round but the concept is the same just more bleach.

You know it Richard. Wife doesnt see the blue coming back. But I do. Few more days and I think Ill start doing OFCLT. Do I keep pump running for the test? Looking for less then 1ppm overnight drop yes? I know its not ready yet.

7am FC 25 CC 1 Wow what a difference. Think I will put the shark back in the pool again tonight. He comes with a pole attachment so you can use him as a manual vac too. Still no backwash needed. Although I do not like the stock gauge on my pump. I have a gauge I got from TFtestkits but the...

I think the bleach is not consistant between gallons. Just my theory. Ill see if I cant get my hands on some syringes that way I know my test is right everytime.

I think im gonna look into a 10ml and 5ml syringe for testing. That way I know my samples are the same volume. Everytime...

Sometimes. I expect the FC level to be around a certain number based on the amount of bleach I add and it tests higher.

So lil shark did pretty good his first time in the pool. He likes to try to move against the current of the pool and winds up going backwards at times. There is multiple settings that can be adjusted. The also include a flow director for the return that I can not install because I still use the...

Somebody went for a swim today. Def was not me. He looks happy. Look at that smile

72hr mark. FC 18 CC 1 added 40oz Pictures at 0/24/48/72

7am I added 3 cups last night. When I checked this morning it was. FC 30 CC 1 5ml test. Been using 5ml for testing due to high FC. Scratching me head here a little bit. Didnt expect such high reading. I added 1 cup for good measure. Will check again after work. I think its getting...

Whooohooo.... im gonna try it out tomorrow..

830pm FC 21 CC 1 Gain of 1ppm for 16oz Added 3 more cups. Should carry thru the overnight. Will check again in AM. Little by little. Its going to be blue again!

Brushed pool 2nd time today. Getting all the areas that has sediment. Also brushed walls. Tested again FC 20 CC 1 doing a test on my bleach. I added 1 measuring cup or 16oz of 8.25 bleach. Gonna test again in 30 to 45min see how much FC went up. My guess is 2 ppm. Seems that the bleach I...

48hr update FC 23 CC 1 FC Held today with full sun exposure. I am comfortable with the level of FC loss during the day at this point in time. I will continue to keep FC at 20 now due to the CYA boost. Is less green almost a yellowish now..
