Need a little help with cloudy salt water AG pool

[bamagal25]

My husband is a little busy these days so I'm having to learn how to manage and test the pool. It has been green for a little over a week. I believe I'm on the right track, but thought I would throw out my test numbers to you all since it is still so cloudy.

Todays numbers 8/1/2012:

Ph 7.5
CYA 90
FC 11.5 (Added 96 oz of bleach 24 hours ago cause chlorine was 0 yesterday)
CC 1.0
TC 12.5

Also, added clarifier 24 hours ago. Here is the picture from today. It is still cloudy and I can barely see the bottom, but I feel like I'm getting closer.

This picture is from 7/28/2012

This is 7/29/2012

This is 7/31/2012

This is today, 8/1/2012

It's definitely looking better, but is still really cloudy. Any ideas what will push it back to clear in time for weekend swimming.

Thanks for your help!

Keep the shocking! That should clear up that last bit real good. Very nice job!

That's good progress. Keep shocking and filter running 24/7. It can take a sand filter 7+ days to filter out all the dead algae particles

Excellent progress! If you keep it up you'll be so proud of your crystal clear pool! And you'll love all the compliments!

Shocked again last night and it looks about the same today...maybe slightly less cloudy. How many times do I shock? OR Do I just wait it out now? Thanks everyone!

read "How to Shock Your Pool" up in Pool School. It is a different process than what you are doing. You are still close but you need more time and MUCH more chlorine.
