No. I actually got in the pool yesterday with the brush and skimmer. I brush all walls and floor, and ran the skimmer around the bottom while kicking up with my feet. I got 3 leaves and a stick out. Thats all. I spent about 2 hours doing this. This was before I started shocking again. TC was about a 1 or 2.

I am keeping it to 15 plus as you and Ben suggest. And running the filter for 48 hours on hi. If it dont work I guess I will start draining, and refilling.

I just cant believe no one has had this problem. If its not normal then I must be doing something wrong.

Ohh and the whole state of NJ is out of cynaric acid test reagent #13. I called every pool store north and south of the mason dixon line..... Nothing.

Also should I try chlorox bleach???? I have been buying the cheap no name stuff...Could it be the bleach? Its all unscented with nothing added like easy pour, no splash, lemon scent...etc.
