The borax was only a small box so we can use it for other things around the house. Same with the baking soda. I'm just glad I found this site. Everything the pool store said, made things worse. Everything you all suggested has made things better. I'm sold on the system.

Results from OCLT test was 1ppm. Still just slightly cloudy, but seems to be getting better so at this point we just keep testing and adding bleach as needed to maintain.

I printed out all of the tables, and have pool math bookmarked. We're planning on doing the OCLT tonight. I'll update in the morning when we get the results.

I didn't want to start a new thread since you've all been so helpful and following along. We got our TF100 kit today and tested for the first time this evening. Here's our numbers FC: 9ppm pH: 7.5 TA: 90 CC: 0 TC: 9 CYA: 65 (it was between the 60 and 70 lines so we went with 65) My husband...

It's looking even better this evening. I'm so excited. I can't wait for that test kit so we can get accurate numbers.

I'm going to go take another one. It is clearer this morning. We're getting there slowly. I'm sure one our TF100 gets here things will move along better, we're kind of flying blind right now.New pics added. We can actually see the pattern on the bottom of the pool! Thanks to all that have...

Not not the best picture since its sideways, but here's what it looks like now. We've added 2 jugs(121oz) of bleach so far and have been running the filter for about 24 hours now. It will take some work, but it looks much better than it did when I first posted this. We did figure out how to...

Ok, signature should be working now.

Sorry about that I thought I did set up my signature. I'll go check that now.

Thanks Bama Rambler. That's what we were thinking, or we could plug the return port on the pool and detach the return hose I guess to let the water run out that way to waste.

YippeeSkippy. Leslie pools is about an hour from me, so this was from a local mom and pop pool store, so I'm not sure. I'm back to report that it's now sat nearly 51.5 hours with the pump not running and still nothing has settled. I ordered my TF100 test kit last night and picked up a bunch...

It's now been 31 hours and it doesn't appear that anything has settled out.

Hello everyone, I'm new here, so I have had time to set up my signature. We bought our house last year, best we can tell our pool is about 3 years old. 24' above ground (about 15,000 gal) The sand filter that came with it was bad so we got a Hayward Xtreme CC1500 with 1.5hp pump So far...
