I do not know, I am out of test kit for cya. Need to order it. But FC seems to be stable, does not drop drastically

Need help! My pool is still cloudy/hazzy. It was a green before. I followed the SLAM instructions but it doesn't seem clear up. What should I do next? PH = 7.3 TA = 65 FC=10 (should I increase it further again?) CC < .5 I also noticed recently my PSI dropped from 30 to 18. Everything in skimmer...

Here is reading for today: My FC dropped from 8 to zero between 7am - 11am. I had to add more Chlorine. Why would drop so much during the day as compared to night?

Here are some new stats for early morning: PH = 7.3 TA = 65 CYA = (Stablizer in skimmer since last night, in-progress) FC=8 ( last night 13) CC < .5 I still cannot see the floor the Pool. Anything else I need to do. I added another Gallon of Chlorine. Motor is continuing to run since last...

Thanks! I put in stabilizer in a sock and left it on both side of skimmer. I started with 2 Gallon liquid Chlorine, tested an hour later, FC=8. I put another 2 gallon and checked again after an hour. Now FC = 13 and CC=.5. I am eager to see the outcome in the morning before I slam it with more.

My wife picked from local pull store a 5gallon chlorine jug. It does not contain any label. How do I find out the amount of sodium hypochlorite in it?

Here is the current standing : last night with doubt of ammonia in the water, i didn't add any additional Chlorine. Last night FC 5 Morning FC 1.5 Morning CC 1.5 So, I plan to go get the Stablizer to get cya from zero to 30. I start the SLAM process in parallel. Am I on the right track?

Per my understanding getting CYA back to 30 would take few days. So, any algae killed last few days will come back if I do not continue to shock. Also, how do I test if I have Ammonia? Am I better off, remove water and refill. Would that be cost and time effective?

Last year I didn't open the pool and open late this year. Pool was very green when I opened. We did some clean-up and I shocked couple of times and FC level to 12 that helped to make it little better but seems like a long way to go. Overnight the FC drops from 12 to 2. These are my numbers PH =...

Here is my current chemical levels: FC 4 AKL 55 PH 6.8 CYA: 0 Water is almost clear after shocking and cleaning for last few days. My initial Ph value was almost 7.8 to 8.0 and Akl was 65 last week. Not sure why it came down. I just added some baking soda (5lb) to increase the AKL. Also...
