Cleaned the filter again today and brushed the pool thoroughly (I do this once per day). I can see the bottom of the pool more clearly, noticeably better than yesterday. I also took a CYA measurement today - 25. CC is somewhere between .5 and one, it was almost clear when I added the first drop, barely needed a second. At what point will that drop to .5 or lower? I'd imagine the water will be pretty clear in the next 48 hours and I'm already passing the OCLT, so the CC is going to be the only thing stopping me from letting the FC drop to normal levels.

I was told you don't do that with an above ground since the sides can/will collapse. That was my initial thought and then I was told not to by everyone I talked to. I also didn't know where I was going to go with 10k gallons of water...

Those are two amazing pictures. Congratulations!
I just have to ask, why didn't you drain it, clean it and refill it? Wouldn't that have been better/quicker/easier?
