I am waiting it out and keeping the faith, after all it took it several months to get this bad.
The chlorine use it what is getting me down, now that the Texas sun is beating down on it, makes it hard to keep the FC that high.
I test it at night when the sun goes down, bring it back to SLAM level and then test in the AM as the sun comes up.
Last night after sunset the FC was at 12ppm after adding 65oz of 8.25% bleach
THis morning it was down to 9.5 so there is still something alive in there, I added 20oz of bleach to take it back to 12
At 5pm this evening it was back down to 4ppm added another 61oz to bring it back up. Will test again in the am.
I backwashed before adding bleach this evening as the pressure rose in the last two days, the waste water was very cloudy so the filter is doing it's job. Water is nice and blue, but still no can see the bottom of the pool.
