Well I check all my numbers yesterday and they were still good, keeping pool at shock level for a week. MY FC loss and CC were spot on for the over night test since last week. I decided to get some DE and what do you know, its finally starting to clear up. I think I am getting more debrish...

I can do that. What about my next post concerning the pictures posted by another post. I have that on the bottom and it makes a green cloud when I brush it. Could it be my trees? I have about 15 close, dogwoods, oak, maple and gum trees.

I was reading http://www.troublefreepool.com/new-to-pool-life-t51497.html. The pictures in that post is what I am seeing on the bottom of my pool. When I sweep it, I see the green clouds. I have enough trees close to the pool to give it 100% shade after 3 pm. Is it just decomposed leaf debris?

Ok so I thought I was getting better, but today when I swept the pool, large clouds of green come up. Now I have checked my FC everyday since I started this post. I brush it everyday. I have kept the pool at shock level or a little higher (16 to 20) since starting this post. Saturday it drop...

I have not put any algeacide in the pool. I was originally using tablets before bleach. I have only had the pool for 1 month. My wife says the pool feels fine to her and she sees nothing on the top. I think my hands were greasy from eating a biscuit this am lol and maybe I am a little...

Ok so i tested last night and again this morning. FC loss is less than 1. CC is 0.5 and the water is clear. However the water feels greasy or oily. Stick your hand in and out and it feels like I have oil or sunscreen on. I can also see lines on the top of the water sometimes, almost like a...

Just added a couple pics so you can see what I am talking about.

Just an update. So the past 2 nights I have a loss of 0 to 0.5 FC and a CC of 0.5. During the day yesterday I checked every 3 hours and it never dropped below 14 FC. I raised it back to shock level each test with 6% bleach according to the pool calc. My Ph is holding steady at 7.2. When I...

Still looks a little cloudy. I can see the bottom with no problem. Guess its time to let the filter do its thing to clear it now. I'll keep it at shock level through tomorrow night to be sure. Thanks again for the assistance. :-D

Just checked the water this morning. The FC and CC are the same at 6 am as they were last night at last check. I will continue to check it throughout the day. I assume it still keep it at shock level until I meet the 3 requirements listed right?

I guess I am confused. My shock level is 16 to 20 depending on CYA (40 to 50). My target FC is 5 to 6. How do i get from say 16 to 5? I thought the goal was to have 0 to 0.5 FC loss over night. I am really confused. Thanks

Another question. After the overnight test losses 0.5 or less, what do I do to bring the FC levels down, I assume that 18-20, is not safe to swim in right ? My CYA is exactly between the 40 and 50 on the the C.A. View tube. So I have adjusted my FC to be 19, tested 3 times with same water and...

Thanks guys. I will the shock process!

Been reading here for about a month now. I just got the TF-100 test kit after battling with my sound round of green pool. I was using the strips and a standard kit that just test chlorine and ph. Here is my info. And my questions to follow. Any help would be appreciated. CL = 5+ (deep...
