morning fc at 28 not to sure whats up the test kit the water was not fully clear. i dropped a couple extra but the water stopped changing color. water was clear but when u put it against something white it still looked slightly pink very light.
We've had other reports of that - I suspect CC intereference or something.
With a 7ppm overnight drop you clearly have to continue shocking. Are you confident in the CYA Result? When was it last tested?

last CYA test was yesterday. it read around 50 to 60. pool now has a pale milky green color. if its CC intereference, why doesnt it show when i do the CC test
Yes...just hold it above 24ppm ( can target 30ppm safely) and keep itup there until you have less than 1ppm overnight FC loss. The shock process can take 3-4 days and now that you have a kit, you can assume you are on day 2. Also, have you had the water tested for copper/metals? I' wondering if you maybe have dead algae causing the cloudiness combined with a metal problem giving the green tint (not likely, but possible)?

yes i had it tested yesterday, no metal in the pool. i think its from me brushing the floor of the pool and mixing the algae into the water. plus i through two bags of cal-hypo in the pool cause i had no bleach. yesterday it was deep green, today its more of a pale green. still seeing water striders in the pool. whenever i do see them something in my pool is usually off.
well it looks like the algae is starting to turn gray but i still see a little brown in there. the pool is still cloudy but blue. will do an overnight fc test tonight. what do you guys think.
