Thanks guys...and gal. I also just swept/scrubbed again as good as I could without being able to see anything. I will provide my last test for the evening around 10. By the way, names Brett!
Last test of the night. FC is 13.5... So from 1:45 til 10:15, I only had to add chlorine 1 time and it was to get up from a FC of 10 at my 7:30 test. We will see what happens in the morning! Look for me to post bright and early!
Overnight 730am test results...FC was 11... We had rain all night and supposed to rain quite a bit today...Posted a few pics

Good morning. Small adjustments is about all you should ever need the rest of your trouble free pool life.
You like many of us that close, will make the big adjustments to get the ball rolling but after that it is a tweek here and a tweek there and it keeps us in the Happy Place.
I love the confidence already in your posts, I assume you feel it welling inside too. #Proud of you
Rain? You will laugh at rain. Your pool can handle just about anything right now.
The days of ok’ish in the am and cloudy disaster in the pm will be a fading memory by the end of this season.
Keep checking and updating, but it is all babysitting from here.

So I just keep checking/adding/scrubbing every 2 hours or can I go out longer now? And I dont stop until the pool is 100% clear? Also, do I keep filter going 24/7 until clear?
Well it all comes down to what is practical for you but the more you stay on top of it, the quicker it tends to go.
Yes you've got to keep at it until the pool is clear and yep you should also be running the filter 24/7. Don't forget to monitor the filter pressure and clean/backwash when it rises 20-25% from the clean pressure.

FC has been holding pretty steady all day. Just waiting for it to clear up....patiently lol
Hi, Brett, first time checking on you today... I’ve been running errands all day! How is your water looking?
Well this is my pool after day 2. Lowest my FC got today was 10 and I only had to add chlorine 2 times throughout the day. One was 12oz and one was 27oz... I hope I am improving, just doesnt look like it yet ....Jeff is preaching patience lol

Jeff is right! You know what they say... took time to get this way, and will take time to fix!
If this is day 2 after the start of a SLAM of a swamp, then things are going good. Chlorine use isn’t too bad and it looks to have turned milky and not green. Now it’s time for the filter to do its job. Net out any big stuff and keep brushing
Yep Patience is all it is now. The filter is doing it's thing and it will take the filter longer to clear the scene then it did the Chlorine to make it. Sounds perfect that you are not adding a lot of Chlorine. I am not either, very minimal amounts.. but I too am waiting on my filter.. small changes it seems because there is a lot to accomplish, however it will get better and once it is clear, you will have trouble remembering these days of waiting, oh and it will be worth it.
Cheers

Well guys I'm getting disheartened... Tested FC at 645am before work and it was 12. Just tested again at 4pm and it is 11. My water looks no better... Whats going on???
