Ummmm --- unless you are going for the Guinness Book of World Records, I have never heard of a CC of 24. :eek: I think you need to retest and be sure you use a drops-based kit. We need FC, TC, CC (at least two of these three measurements) and also ph, alk, cya and calcium hardness if it is not a vinyl pool. Also need to know how big your pool is and then somebody here will try and help you get your pool cleared. :)

To add to Watermom's advice, take the pucks out of the pool--your CYA is already plenty high.

Keep your Cl at 20 or above by testing and adding enough bleach to get back up there 2-3 times daily, keep the pump running, backwash as needed, and brush daily....it will clear!
