Some pictures of the clearing water. I'm going to give it another solid brushing tonight and keep my FC near 10 until I have a truely clear pool. Thanks for keeping me away from the pool store after the rough start.

Even more progress over the weekend. Started friday with my tf100 in hand and a green hue in generally clear water. I added about 2 cups of DE after obtaining a bag from a coworker. My FC was around 3.5 and CC still at 0.5 so another dosing of bleach was added to get the FC to 10. The pool was...

I'm not home currently but that does sound correct. I'm going to continue the shocking tonight through the weekend in hopes that the water is clear enough that friends and family will want to swim. Here's to hoping they forget the images of the black lagoon that it started out as. Should I be...

Sorry in advance for the wall of text but we've had a month long "journey" trying to get a new to us pool opened. I've read a good portion of topics in the pool school and will be ordering my Taylor kit shortly as it seems everything is based on the readings and resolution that it provides. I...
