Ah, yes, I'd say that's about right. It was 18 before I back washed and 18 after. I've yet to see it go above that.

This has me worried that something may be wrong with my system? Yikes, I hope not.
If anything is wrong, it's just a faulty pressure gauge. They have them on TFTestkits.net for $12.50 + shipping.

Not really but you can practice if you want... You may get some kind of reading...
I'm running low on that fluid. I'll need to take it easy for now until I can get more.
FC is 13.5. I'll leave it alone for now.
Heres a video of my gauge and overall setup. Does it appear to be operating normally?

Lol...no, I don't think so, but when I get home I'll give it a wiggle in case I'm wrong.
Reallyyyyyyyyy hoping this thing is swimable by this weekend.

Not a big thing but a little better circulation might help a bit. Rather than pushing your jet straight back out into the pool, a little tornado action will help get things back into the skimmer.
Diligence and attention... you may just get a chance to float soon

I probably know the answer to this already, but I have to ask JIC. What about chemicals that claim to clarify the water? Should I or shouldn't I?
That's a big Nope to our recommendation to clarifiers. They simply don't always work as advertised. Keep focusing on maintaining your FC level at 12ppm. It will likely take awhile to turn, but once it's clear you'll have the knowledge to keep it clear. It took some time to turn the greenish mess......it will take some time to clear. Keep at it!

Good question...
I looked into it the last time it was brought up. The dude in the vid claimed it was a 24 hour shift but, you can never tell what has actually been done in an edited video... Algaecide, doesn't actually kill the algae...it helps to prevent its return... at a cost much higher than bleach. Chlorine kills algae and prevents its return as long as it is maintained as is with all the other chemicals.
Here is my pool... IT looks like this all the time... ZERO clarifier.. Zero Algaecide.. Only bleach..
Ok, I figured that was my answer, but I figured I'd ask just in case.
Onward and upward!

Correct
Clarifiers at times can help speed up clearing the water......but only if the chemistry and filtering are perfect. Otherwise they're simply a Band-Aid and can cause multiple different problem. Your chemistry is not perfect at this point so I would stick with chlorine only while backwashing your filter when needed.
Have you tested your FC lately? What was it??? How are you doing on reagents???
