Woot! Pool looked great this morning and holding strong with no loss of FC (around 7 is my best guess as the HTH kit only goes to 5) I can see clearly to the bottom of the deep end. I can still see some particles in the water, but it's clearing out just from running the filter. Kids are gonna have a blast today - they're so excited! Now to get started on the landscaping around the pool.....*wondering if there's a forum for that*....LOL Thanks for all of the excellent advice!
