    Newbie, HELP!

    Thats td what it looked like before shock... - - - Updated - - - I can't post another pic for some reason, but so you know it was crystal clear before slam process started. i won't receive test kit for another 2 weeks! so for now I guess I can do pool store test and keep adding chlorine?
