Got up this morning and the water was very clear. I put in some pre-dissolved pH because it was around 7.0 and a little more clarifier. The filter was nasty again today so I changed it out again and may have to change it two days a week until the swim season is over. It's time for me to...

No I didn't use the whole gallon bottle of shock, I only put in 5 oz. I estimated my pool at worst case to be 4000 gallons. Today with the 6 way test strips, my total chlorine and free chlorine levels were low, my pH went from yesterday's high reading to below 7.0, alk read at a good range. I...
