o.k - I am keeping chlorine levels up today & it's starting to look a little better. Here are some questions.

How long after it's not green any more does the chlorine level need to stay up at 20/25?

Once it can be allowed to go down, where should I keep the chlorine # on a daily basis?

Are you saying I should not put the tab back in ever, or just until CYA, etc. are down?

When will it be safe to swim in?

When should I do the full test kit again to report numbers to you again?

p.s. I have been draining from the bottom (i.e. using suction to vacuum the pool while other end of hose is draining out of the pool. This is getting green junk from bottom of pool out of pool w/o going through filter & simultaneously draining pool).
