In hindsight, I think you should just give up and fill it in.

Re: Should I just give up? Can

As well you should! I had spend hundreds and was about to give up, wasn't looking for a pool but it came with the house. I may learn to love it! It looks better this afternoon than it did this morning. I will see how much chlorine I loose tonight and then see if I can get a regular maintenance schedule. I will need more help!!! Stand by for more dumb questions.

Thank you, thank you , thank you ... the slam seems to be complete. Will do a test tonight to see if I still loose any chlorine. I have a hard time getting to the pool before the sun does. I guess I can let the FC down to a reasonable level and test the pH and adjust as needed. How does that sound?
 
This is a great thread! Just read through all of it and couldn't see any pictures of what the pool looked like in the beginning, but I felt your frustration. The end result looks fantastic! We don't have a pool yet, but hoping to have one this summer and I'm enjoying reading this forum. Such amazing support and encouragement .....and expertise!
 
Here is a picture of the water on April 12th, I had already been at it a month with hundreds of dollars spent at the pool store, they wanted me to do a complete drain and re-fill. It was not open last year, as we just bought the house last fall. The water was black/green and nasty. BBB, TFP and a bit of hard work on my part, cleaned this water! bad pool.jpg

Well done! Looks like as long as you do some final brushing to make sure the nooks and crannys aren't hiding any critters you are on your way to passing OCLT.

I'd leave your FC at close to SLAM during OCLT. Test it late after sun is down and pry yourself out of bed early before sun beats on it too much. pH can wait for OCLT to pass since you look to be close.
