The pool is almost there...I still get some clouds of brownish/green when I sweep but way down. Still a little cloudy, can can see the bottom. I sweep several times a day. It is holding FC pretty well...never drops below 12. Not stable enough yet to do the overnight test.
I'm surprised that after almost 2 weeks of keeping it at shock, I still get the residue. Last week I did my tests using the cosmic test kit and took a sample of the same water to the pool store...the lady is a friend. well experienced and doesn't try to sell me stuff. The first numbers are my readings; the 2nd are the pool store's using their computer. Note the HUGE FC difference! Back home a strip says mine or more likely. But, why do I still have algae after almost 2 weeks?
The 3rd set of numbers are what I just did...in all my tests, I was very careful and the FC used fresh powder. No significant rain or fresh water added.
