Taylor-K2006C test kit results:
CYA = 30-40 (outdoors, waist level, back to sun, etc.)
PH = 7.2 (out of the tap, prior to SLAM)
16,000 gallon AG pool. Cartridge filter with 2500 gallon/hr turnover
According to Pool School, my shock level is 16ppm. I thought I had a higher CYA, so I've been dosing it to 20ppm for the past 3 days and my pool is STILL opaque green.
The only thing I can think of is that I do not have a vacuum to waste option. I have the little garden hose & net kind of vacuum.
I'd hoped after 3 days, I'd see SOME improvement. It's the same color as when I began, and I can see to the same depth as when I began. Zero improvement.
Technically, I've been at this since Aug 9 (8 days ago) but my pool volume was incorrect, and I had to do a partial drain because of high CYA. Now that that's squared away, I'd hoped by now something would be different.
I've practically memorized this entire website.

- I test/dose with 8.25% bleach about 5 times a day. (Sometimes the FC is higher than shock level.)
- I brush every day (bottom, walls, jets...I've got quite the shoulder muscles from it)
- I remove the ladder until I need it.
- I clean the filter every day (will clean twice a day if necessary).
- I vacuum/remove all debris (I am very thorough with this, even though I can't see the bottom)
- I keep a written log of testing & dosing
- Pump runs 24/7 (and I have the electric bill to prove it)
