Good. Now, as Janet said above, try and maintain the cl at 20. Test as many times per day as you can and each time (no such thing as doing it too often), add enough bleach to get back to 20. Do this until you can go from sundown one day until sunup the next day without losing more than 1ppm of chlorine.

Ok, have finally got pool to where I am only losing 1 ppm of chlorine. Last night reading was:

Chlorine 19.5 Today: 18.5
CC .5 Today .5
PH 7.2 Today 7.4
TA 90 TA 90
CH 380 CH 380
CYA 38 CYA 38

Pool is still very cloudy.

Ok, you should be just about there. Keep it at shock level for just a couple more days and you should see it starting to clear. Keep the pump running and filtering, backwash as needed, and brush the pool at least daily.

Are you seeing your filter pressure rise? Are you noticing any of the algae coming back into the pool from the return?

I don't have a backwash valve. This is a Hayward c4025 filter system. I am not noticing any algae and pressure guage has remained the same

Oh, ok, that' s a cartridge system. Have you removed the cartridge and cleaned it since you started this process?

Ok....water is crystal clear...NOW, my motor has gone out. It is a 2.0 hayward self priming. I have called 3 pool stores and they all say a week to get to us. Can I order this motor and how hard is it to replce with the housing?
