Thanks, that's what I thought.

Most of the test you add drops to the cylinder until the color becomes clear. but I've noticed that when the cylinder becomes clear, if you let it sit a couple of seconds after it becomes clear, the color will come back., and if you add another drop, it becomes clear and stays clear. So do you...

sorry guys,. I tried everything you all suggested, and after draining within a foot of the shallow side and it still looked the same, I had to use Flocculant It just had too much dirt mixed in the water and would not clear up. It's clear now and everything is in balance. It still is a bit...

Ok...

Ok, exchanged a lot of water today. The CYA is now down to 50, so the SLAM level is at 20. It measured at 14.5 so I put two gallons in. It still looks cloudy. I'd drain the whole thing it if wasn't a vinyl liner.... I have the vacuum head and hose sucking water from the bottom of the pool...

Ok, Thanks for all your encouragement, everyone... I find this a daunting process. but I'm hanging in there. I appreciate all the help sooooo much. I'll be gone tomorrow, so I'll just put a gallon in the morning before we leave.... I think Sunday I'll exchange some of the water. I think a lot...

This how my pool looks... yuck....

I think for now I'll keep going as I am. keeping it at 27 has not been too difficult. I'll do a water exchange when I have more time later. I'll do the OCLT tonight

since my CYA is so high, should I drain part of the pool and start over?

well sort of... I will be checking it in the morning.

so far today the FC readings were 29, 25, and 27

So I need more chlorine then?
