Idk it's hard to tell from that picture, but to me it looks like you have a little way to go yet, as far as water clarity.

This is a pic of my pool with an 8 ft deep end. The water is as clear as bottled water. Have you added DE to your sand filter?

Yea, my liner is slightly faded and the bottom is white. However, im having a friend maintain it while im out of town.

I really like yours.

Happy 4th!

Still going strong, so pleased to see the bottom.

Cheers, Matt! Love the beer shot, LOL! Great job, and your dedication has paid off! Congrats!!

Quick update... while I was on vacation had a buddy maintain the pool at shock level twice a day....

Got home late last night, tested when I got home today

SLAM= 24
FC= 16.6 (Over 24 hrs since last bleach addition)
CC= 1

Took this picture at dusk, pump is off to reduce ripples to capture clarity of water.

Look like it is clearing up nicely!
Good job!

SLAM= 24
FC= 24.5 (speed stir makes life so much easier lol)
CC= 1

Yes ned it looks amazing small particles on the floor that will be vacuumed up tomorrow. Also there are some stains (in the last picture you can see an example) that wont go away no matter how hard I scrub with the brush.

Suggestions?
TFPF Saved my pool and my not so deep pockets.

With CC=1 you need to continue SLAM.
Went through your thread history, initial pictures show that ladder is out, have you scrubbed down the ladder and/or has it been placed back into the pool?
