Thanks! My CC is good, but still losing about 1.5 to 2.0 ppm on the OCLT. Guess I shouldn't let FC drift down, yet!

I'm about ready to call it clear!

Not every couple of hours, but I'll an eye on it! From this morning:

I did today and got 40. Been keeping FC at 16 +/-. Gonna vac again in the morning. Seems like there's a little bit of debris every morning that needs vac'd! At the rate of improvement, I'm thinking I may have a clear pool by the end of the weekend. - - - Updated - - -

Can see the bottom!

Been a busy couple days.. maintaining proper FC levels for the SLAM. Vac and backwash at least every other day, first thing in the morning. Starting to see the bottom of the pool, around the edges! I'm hoping it will be swim-ready by July 4th!

The 55 was this morning before the sun topped my neighbors trees. The 40 was this afternoon, after sun dropped below my other neighbors trees! I don't see how it went up. It was what, Sunday... I haven't added any stabilizer, or anything for that matter. Add bleach, sweep and vac. with a...

Swept this morning and went to work. This afternoons readings: FC 13.5 CC .5 CyA 40 Added 60 oz of bleach to get up to 16 FC.

This morning- FC 14.5, and some how CyA up to 55? Cloudier than last night, for sure. Sorry, didn't do the CC (saw this too late). Adding bleach to get up to 22 FC! I'm wondering at this point if I should have just drained and re-filled the pool! We'll see what it looks like again after work.

Ha! No beer tonight, 3-hour biology = brain mush afterwards! I'll go edit that one! Water is cloudy, no real change.

Ok. Thanks. - - - Updated - - - FC has been 15 all day with the exception of a short time when it fell to 12.5 Prepared for the wait, hope it's not weeks!

It's ^ up there!

Got it. Thanks! - - - Updated - - - $38 dollars worth! :shock:

Ok, sitting at 15.5 FC this morning, and pH of 7.6. Going to knock the pH down a bit with MA. Let's see if this works... This is after vacuuming this morning.

Since I have broomed and vacuumed the heck out of the pool, it is clean. Should I be backwashing during this process? I fear I will then have to refill, and "dilute" what I have going on in the pool. edit- Well, scratch that. I'm going to have to vac. to waste a bit this morning.
