Charity, I want you to know that the Pool Blaster is a great tool. I have one for spot cleaning after my robot and for cleaning my spa. But for getting rid of algae, you need to get it out of the water and going to the filter is the best way. When the pressure is up 25% above the clean pressure, back wash. And with the "dust" and it being yellow-green, I believe you are killing an algae bloom. You may have more than one issue here.
It really has worked well for me in the past, takes some time, but I don’t mind. That’s how I get my pool time in during the day
You can barely see the base of the pool blaster
Sounds good!When we are done with you, You will post ones here :
How Clear is TFP Clear? Let's See (Pics Only Please).
How clear should my water be? A very common question. Here is mine on a calm morning where I could finally vacuum. Yes I know, I'm still manually vacuuming. It took me 7 years to finally get an SWG, I'm working on a robot. :) So now let's see your water clarity.www.troublefreepool.com
The last time we swam was July 4th weekend! It all went downhill after we had quite a few people and high heat. We then started a remodeling project that following wk and didn’t pay any attention to the pool for several days. I was hoping they could swim this wk, they start back on the 11th. They are all teenagers so it’s just here and there, but they have used it a lot more this summer then the past couple summers. They went to visit with grandparents this weekend and will be home tomorrow afternoon. I know my girls were hoping to swim if they can!Charity- when your pool is clear enough to easily see the bottom (for safety sake) you can still let the kids swim when the FC is up to SLAM level. So 12ppm FC and Under.
Above SLAM level is a no-go for swimming.
I hate to think the kids will lose their summer fun right before school starts again.

Were at 10.5 ppm this evening. So now I would add a 1 1/2 cups chlorine correct?
7.5 ph
Tomorrow morning, do I test FC or FC and PH? And then continue to keep at all 12 ppm? Sorry for all of the questions, just want to make sure I’m doing it correctly. I really appreciate all of the help!
FC only now until pool is clear. Continue to add chlorine back to 12 ppm FC.

How many times a day should I test FC from here? Even in the middle of the day if I need to add chlorine, I should do it, correct?We exist solely to help. If we didn't like it, we'd all be doing something else. Help us help you.
