Hi. I'm semi-new here. I found y'all at the end of last summer, and started using your advice on keeping my pool clean.... first time posting. I'm in Southern Alabama, where the weather is already hot. Over the winter, I abandoned the pool, and just let it sit exposed and green. With that being said, I've followed the advice for turning it from green to clean.
It's a beautiful color. Only loosing 0.5ppm FC overnight....if that on some nights. All chemicals are testing right, where pool math says they should be. It has not cleared any more in a week. The pump has been running 24/7. I scrub once and vacuum once per day, even though there is nothing to really vacuum... only tiny bugs that commit suicide daily. I backwash the pump daily. My OCD is taking over, and I'm checking the levels roughly every 2-3 hours.... the sun is killing the FC. I even had the dreaded pool store check my water to make sure I was checking everything correctly (new to the TF-100).

Do I just keep waiting?!! I'm losing patience after slamming for 2 weeks. I'm ready to enjoy the fruits of my labor! Pictures of the color process are attached. The last picture is from this evening. I started the slam on the 14th.
