Ok I'll wait until FC drops down (which will probably be sometime tomorrow) and i'll retest pH. Thanks all.

We are enjoying the pool very much. I did a test tonight and wondered what you folks thought: FC: 13 CC: 1 TC: 14 CH: 225 TA: 160 CYA: 30 pH: 8.2

Ok thanks guys. 400K BTU seems like a lot for a 11,000 gallon pool. - - - Updated - - - Isn't Millivolt a RayPak heater brand?

Wow really. That's a great insight! You also said to not buy one online: why? Thom - - - Updated - - - Also: What's your opinion on pumps? I may need a new pump soon. TK

Haha will do.

Nice. Maybe next year, we need a heater first. So I can actually see the bottom of the pool in the shallow end today. :D

Hey how do you like that robot vacuum?

Ok sounds good guys. The water is even clearer today. The FC is down to 15 from last night's 20, so there's still some algae in the pool. When it stops raining I'll wash the filter again and change out the skimmer sock and retest!

But the pool is still kind of cloudy.. - - - Updated - - - But the water is still cloudy. Is that going to change if I keep doing a SLAM?

Ok so the Chlorine did not go down at all from 20 for 2 hours?

Yep CC is 1. I posted the whole test panel earlier, here: http://i.imgur.com/i4a8Qrb.png
