Definitely, filter.
If you add chlorine via the skimmer (no mineral cartridge or tabs in place!!), it will keep the cartridge clean.

Ok, it looks like the fungus is gone.
I still have the Pool frog chlorine back pack wide open to 10, but I did turn the pump down to the slower setting. Thanks for the help. I received my Taylor k-2006c testing kit this afternoon and just finished my test, but will post those in a new thread.
Thanks for the help!!!
I am unable to post a new thread so I will post my K-2006c tests here. As stated previously, I am using a Pool Frog Chlorinator and mineral pack that surrounds the chlorine backpac. I am very new to doing my own pool chemistry and a bit nervous. Thanks for the help!

You can't post in "Getting Started" any more, but you should be able to post here, without a problem. Try in the testing section, and see.Quote:

Will do. Thanks PoolDoc.
I would also, check your chlorine again tonight and in the morning, and make sure that you're not still losing more than 1 ppm of chlorine overnight--if you are, then you need to shock the pool again. Hopefully today's sun will take care of that CC, but if not, you'll need to shock to burn it off.

Thanks for the cartridge info PoolDoc. Much appreciated. Pool is looking great and no white water fungus!!!! Now just have to get use to the BBB dosing method. Feel like I need to enroll in a few chemistry courses :-)
Hope it's not *quite* that hard!
