I was told that the Liquidator would handle adding the chlorine in my pool without any additional equipment for two weeks if I went on vacation.
Obviously, that statement is not true for a pool in the South and in the sun all day. I have no problem with using the Liquidator and a chlorine floater, if needed. I shall soon see how much additional care is needed, daily.
I hope you are right about things getting better.

If the level doesn't drop, I will go one extra day for good luck and then start using the liquidator and maintain a reasonable FC level. My fingers are crossed.

1. CC is 0.5 or lower;
2. An overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less;
3. And the water is clear.

The FC level was 26 when I tested it before bed time and it was 24 this morning. Unfortunate news as the night previous two nights I had a 1 ppm loss. I'm continuing to pound the pool with chlorine and, as of today, I have used 48 1-1/2 gallon jugs of bleach on a 10,000 to 11,000 gallon pool. That may seem right to some but that's unbelievable to this neophyte.
I have no ladders, toys, floats, etc. to remove, just a pool. I have no clue how to remove the chrome ring around the light so I'm sure that's where the algae is hiding. One would think after 12 days of the pool being well over (sometimes double) the shock level, even there would be dead.
Thanks again to all.
Jim
