Yes, I have brushed well. No algae in site. Also, I taught my son to test, and he went and got 10 more gallons of bleach. We just went outside to do one last measurement, and FC was 2! CC was 1.
We added 6 gallons (called for 4) since you said to increase it by 50% before I stopped for the night.
I did leave him the test kit, bleach, and he knows how to use the pool math calculator.
We are using 8% bleach right now...over 30 gallons so far.
I will test one time in the morning before I leave for work, and will have him take care of it the rest of the day. I told him to test every 1 to 1.5 hours.
I also finished adding the salt, 3 bags, and will test that in the morning too.
SWG is off, but I want it to be ready for when I can turn it on to maintain.
The water is maybe a little cloudy. Can't see deep end well, but shallow end looks beautiful.
I am hoping to get this kicked soon! I never did have much algae, until yesterday when a thin coat of yellow-green was in the deep end along the seams of the side of the pool, and it is just not ever holding chlorine.
I also have a new cell for the SWG.
Thanks again for all your help.
