HI! Man you Texas people are all over the place!
You are heading in the right direction to your pool becoming a jewel!
I have a couple of things for you to do so you and we can see the progress.
Please go out and take a pic of your pool looking down at the steps. You will want to take a pic a day at the same spot. This is very important so you will be able to see the changes. Your eyes will not be able to see each day BUT if you have the pics you will see it there!
Know that your pool did not turn green in two days so...........it will take some time (and bleach) to get it clear. it can be done! It is a process that needs attention to details.
The more you keep the FC at or just above SLAM level the faster your SLAM will do.
Try to test and add bleach at least 4 times a day. Do more if at all possible. Every hour to start would be great but........We know like happens LOL
HUGS! You can do this!
