Okay, I have put in 2 121 oz bleach, it's 8.25. tested the fc it came to 12. Tomorrow I'm gonna test again to see what the loss amount is and also to confirm that I have algea. Then put more bleach in and try to get it a little higher, maybe 13-14 at least twice daily and hope I can get the loss amount to less then 1 overnight in two days. I want to get in the pool over the weekend some. In searching I saw that it was okay as long as I shower well, wear an old suit...? I still have very clear water. 
Hey, I just thought of something. I tested my CYA again and now it's at 40. Does that mean that I need to calculate to 16 for fc level now?
Okay, they are almost gone. After I put the only bleach I had in on Wed my boyfriend put the tablets in. He has been told to stay away from the pool at this point.
Okay, I have been reading and it has made me need to ask another question. I tested the FC just now and it was at 14. So, do I add the difference in to get it to 16 now or can I wait a few hours and then test again and then add the difference to get it to the 16? I guess, to better phrase the question, how do I know if it is really reaching the 16 after I add the bleach amount per the pool calculator? And how long after I add do I test... You know the cycle kinds of gets mixed up, test first then add then test... what exactly. One thing that may have messed things up is that I fell asleep at around 6:30 last night because I had been up all day and night previously doing the SLAM and when I got up at 4:30 am the pump was off. It is scheduled to turn off at 2am so I think it was only off for two and 1/2 hours. All day yesterday I floated with my head on the cushion of pool float and my arms looped over the sides, with leaf skimmer in hand or book. picture posted. The best float ever... that was because it was windy and I didn't want the Dang leaves in the pool to mess things up. It was too hot to be out of the water all day!!!
