I'm going and it is better but it is going slow... Still adding a quart every 3 hours or so. Jason

It doesn't look that different in the picture but it is definitely less green. Still very cloudy. I just brushed the shallow areas but will do it all in a bit. Chlorine went down 2 ppm in the last 4.5 hours since I had last topped it off.

It's still cranking through the chlorine, but the pool light is lighting much more of the pool -- I'm hopeful. Weirdly maybe it also smells much more of chlorine now than it did earlier in the process.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I was waiting to clean the filter after this process but the emphasis that everything be clean made me decide to clean it now. It was green like I've never seen it before -- usually it is just kind of sandy with some pollen looking stuff. Kind of hard to...

I have not. I don't even really know what one is. My pool really has been "trouble free" for a long time. I've always kind of stuck to the basics (liquid chlorine, baking soda, muratic acid, the occasional trichlor tab to supplement the salt system). So you think the iron / copper is an issue?

As I had just had it tested at the pool store, I added the recommended baking soda, waited for my test kit to come, and only tested the CYA and pH. Sorry. Jason

I bought a new Taylor K-2006 kit as mine was old.

I was better at doing it every couple hours the first few days...it was every 2-3 hours except the middle of the night. Chlorine hasn't gotten below 10 at all. Not sure if useful but these are pool store results from 10/8: FC 0.18 TC 0.18 pH 8.4 TA 55 (I added baking soda since then) CH 274...

It is a lighter shade of green -- a little lighter than it looks in the photo. I added CYA to get up to 40 ppm and brought the pH in line and started Wednesday afternoon when my new Taylor K-2006 kit arrived. Pool is around 14k gallons. Targeting chlorine at 16, I have been checking at least...
