Yes, absolutely don't want to do this again. Thank you!

Woohoo! Passed OCLT! Only lost .5 ppm last night and the CC is less than .05 and water is crystal clear! Now I'll wait until the FC gets down to 10 ppm and turn the SWG back on. I really appreciate the help that you all gave me during this! I really wouldn't have known what to do otherwise...

Okay, I left it alone today and just tested before I go to bed. FC is at 15.5 ppm right now and .5 CC. Keeping my fingers crossed I can pass the OCLT tonight!

My FC is down to 24 as of this morning, so should I just not add anything today and let it drop, or should I add to get to 20 ppm if it gets below that by the end of the day?

Okay, thank you! I'll try that!

Okay, I've got the chillers off and I've brushed every single thing I can think of. I'm still having levels drop about 6 ppm every day during the day between 12-5pm, and then dropping around 4 ppm at nighttime. I've been through almost 17 gallons of liquid chlorine and I'm going to pick up 6...

Oh, I didn't think about that. That is a good point. My husband also said that the evap on the chillers might be flaring off the chlorine faster too.

Okay, I'll get the chillers off until this is done. I need to just have an actual pool chiller installed. This is our first summer with this pool, and the pool at our last house was so shaded that we never had an issue with the pool temp being too high. It also wouldn't really be an issue if...

I did take the chairs, umbrella, swim bar and chiller fountains out and brushed them and washed them with bleach.

here are some pics of the pool. I’ve tried to brush everything I can. The only things that I haven’t been able to brush really well are the parts for the in floor cleaner. I can’t get the tops off the vacuums to really get in there to clean.

That is a good idea! I ended up using a brush that I had kept in the kitchen for cleaning out vases and water bottles. Lol! It has worked pretty good, but I may end up getting a toilet brush now that you said that because I bet those have a longer handle.

I had been testing 5-6 times a day until yesterday. We some friends and their kids over to swim yesterday, so I didn't do any adjusting in the middle of the day. Just morning and evening. The pool looks crystal clear. I haven't seen any of the haziness that I was seeing at the beginning of...
