Thank you @Mdragger88 @PoolStored I feel I should get like a graduation cap. I appreciate all your advise and help. I'm dissapointed that I can't get people in person here in Central Florida who could assess what was going on and come up with a process and procedure to get me out of this...

Yes to everything but the comment about algae. What would dead or alive algae look like? Pool crystal clear and has been for 5 days at this point! Never been so blue and crisp. It's unbelievable. Got a little yellow pollen dust a few days ago, but that was skimmed up and discarded. Where can...

Ok all - I think I've passed the test here. Tested and added required chlorine last night at sundown. Checked again 30 min after and chlorine was at Slam level of 16. This morning at dawn I checked chlorine and it was still at slam level. CC test BARELY had a hint of pink after 5 drops of...

Ok - update - I am going to do what I think/hope might be the last test tonight and tomorrow AM. Looking at the doc @Mdragger88 shared above I wasn't doing the a test 30 mins after the PM add. I'll prob have to do it a bit later than 8 as the sun is still up. But my past two am tests have been...

Oh - I understand- meaning that if I’m adding to meet a slam level of 16, I need to be at 15 at least this AM. Correct?

Good morning. Not sure if we are done here! Last night's FC at 7:30p was 8.5. Added chlorine per calculator This am's FC is 8.5 CC was .75 (technically .25 too high per guides) Adding both for FC of 9.25 So, the overnight loss test is good, pool is so clear I can the that the screws on the...

It’s wild to see. Love it!

Ty all. Pendulum swinging back to a good place it feels. FC of 11ppm just now. Doing next test this evening.

(I donated btw, appreciate all your help!)

FC greater than minimum and less equals slam? Gosh, im sorry. I dont know what that means

When is it safe to return to pool? I assume after slam is complete?

Logged FC 1ppm. Adding chlorine now. Will do this 2-3 more times today. Will do last one at sundown.

Ok well, I am VERY happy right now. My pool looks like a 4K tv and I’ve never seen it so clear and crisp. Look at the pics. It looked like clam chowder a week ago. I’m headed to Pinch a Penny to get more chlorine. @PoolStored - just looking ahead on slam finishing, what is “Cc“ at .5 or lower...
