Re: I thought I knew how to get the water clear but I dont..
Latest update... Clarity is no better, possibly slightly worse. I worked today so I didn't get to add more Bleach until I got off of work.
FC was 12 when I checked after work so since last night has dropped approx. 8 points.
I decided to go ahead and work on the filter and I removed the bracket and raised the valve up and used a garden hose and a pc. of plastic rod and poked around in the sand for about 5 minutes. I did not see a lot of debris when I ran the hose down in the sand with the water on for a few minutes.
I put it back to together and added 2 jugs of the 182 oz. bleach and have my fingers crossed.
I am going to get some of the D.E. tomorrow and try that also if no improvement, unless someone else has a recommendation.
I have a question on the FC test. Is it okay to add multiple drops and then swirl at the beginning of the test, instead of add a drop and mix thorughout? When I know Chlorine is up...I add like 10 drops or more and then start with the 1 drop and then mix.
