I don't know if I have ever moved out of SLAM. I just can't ever get the water to be clear and sparkly. It always has a haze and not real clear.
Pump turned on July 1st and has run 24/7 ever since. We started with cleaning out and digging out everything we could get. It wasn't as bad as I expected. We have also been running the robot frequently and it is not finding much stuff on the bottom either.
I haven't kept very good details of all of the chlorine I have dumped in, but when I have added anything else, I have tried to keep better notes. I am going to just include some days, not all of them. Some of them I forgot to start a new log entry and actually changed some of my test results.

Now the app is wanting me to add 344oz bleach, 71lbs washing soda and 2.4lbs dry stabilizer.
HELP!!! Just want to have a clean sparkling pool for the hot week we are supposed to have this week. Where do I go from here? I feel like I am further off then I was before I started.
THANKS for any suggestions. Feel like I spend more time trying to get everything balanced then the kids do enjoying the pool.
