I need this fixed for Thursday.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help.

If you're in that much of a hurry I'd say the fastest fix is going to be a drain and refill. Except that in Houston you have to be cautious of the ground water because you don't want to experience it floating the pool upwards.

Go here and order the TF-100 test kit with overnight shipping (yeah, when in a hurry you pay more to get things fast)

That Clorox test strip is a joke. You need accuracy and that's what the TF-100 gives you.

Go stock up on Liquid Chlorine. If you go to Walmart chec in the pool section for their Pool Essentials 10% liquid chlorine. Or you can find some at Lowes and HD. NO granular or puck products. please.

I don't use the Clorox strips anymore. I do use the 100 blue box testing kit, just as y'all suggest on here. I'm guessing I need to go update my profile.

Start slamming. If your water is blue but cloudy, it could be a very fast slam. SLAM Process

Thanks, gonfishin! I'll start in the AM.

Thanks, gonfishin! I'll start in the AM.

Why wait? Start tonight and the sun won't steal any of your chlorine.
