    most days once.....I try to test, add bleach, hang out for a while then add some more. Some days I can get there 2x and do same. few times I work 24 hour shifts so I get MIL to add a gal or 2. Its not ideal I know but some days its all I have time for.

    OK its now Friday. just came home from a 24 hr shift and the water is still cloudy. I vacuumed and tested the FC @ 5.5 I added 2 gal of bleach and waited a bit and tested the FC @ 10 ppm. I didn't want to add a 3rd gall so quickly so I'll wait till tonight to take another reading and add some more. I figured by now the water would be clearing up but it hasn't. Is there something else I should be trying as well?

    Three full days of testing and hitting it with bleach would probably put a big dent in solving your problem! Run pump 24/7 and watch pressure. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
