Negative on the pool store magic bullets. Trying to follow TFP practices as it seems like a tried and true method that is like to follow. 10-4 on the tablets. I’ll hold off on De for now. I’ll keep on with the Slam process until blue. Thank you for the advice. I’ll update later.

Will adding DE to the sand filter improve the filtration and speed of recovery?

I hear you. I added a tablet in the skimmer last night. I’m using a 25ml sample 1 drop/2ppms. So my numbers might be off +/- 4 ppms with 1-2 drop difference and titration interpretation. Being above 20 I wasn’t too worried about it. Tucson outdoor pool is correct.

@wireform - I am making sure I cannot see that black dot even the slightest. Sample taken from arms length deep in the deep end. If anything I think my CYA is slightly conservative. @mknauss - I thought I would be in good shape but no improvements is thoroughly frustrating me. I’m at a cross...

Cya was taken after 10+ ppm prior to 10+ ppm I have been in the 40ish range consistently (5-6) testing intervals to “learn” the pool. I added tablets Thurs and not since. They are about gone and ppm has been maintaining 20-25 ppms since then.

Those number were done this morning. I’m testing am/pm to monitor chlorine loss and brushing vacuuming 2x a day.

FC 24 CC 0 PH 7.6 (isn’t this inaccurate do to high fc levels?) TA 110 CH 230 CYA 50 Thank you for your help by the way.

Taylor k2006 fas-dpd. Just noticed you recommended Taylor k2006c. Am I getting false readings w/ k2006 fas-dpd method?

I am passing both the chlorine loss and cc parts of this process but the pool is still cloudy/green. Extensive brushing manually vacuuming filter running 24/7. What should I do next? Add DE to sand filter? Double/triple shock again? I’m still reading 20+ ppm with 0 combined.

Just had my pool replastered with micro pebble 1 mo. ago. Chemistry and levels were all within range until 4th of July pool party. I have learned I should’ve immediately shocked or raised chlorine levels. Alas, 3 days later pool is cloudy/green. I assumed it was algae based on the color of the...
