It looks better but it's not very clear and you lost a lot of chlorine through the night.
Keep SLAM'ing. You've got at the least, 3 days to go. Brush the pool walls and floor daily.

Here's the CYA/FC chart, never let it get below the minimum, algae can't get hold then.

Went home on lunch and was crystal clear, FC holding at 5 according to the cheap test strips ( waiting on my powder still ) So we'll give + or - 2ppm. Wife will pour in half a gallon or so to bring to 7-10ppm and i will check it again when I get home, no slime in pool NOTHING! was beautiful. CYA holding at 30-40, PH a little high ( will add acid tonight to lower PH ) everything else is in line. Wife asked if something was wrong because she couldnt smell any bleach/chlorine ( CC )... said it's higher than it's ever been this year

Tell her to get used to not smelling chlorine, and try not to look too smug
O I looked smug ;-) She laughed and said " Good job, go back to work or your going to be late" LOL... Working 5 miles from the house has it's benefits... get almost 40 minutes of swim time with the family during the day
