So things are still overall doing well. Pool is staying clear. Still a little cloudiness in the deep end, but I can clearly see the bottom of the entire pool and it's a nice blue color.

pH is holding steady @ 7.4 and TA @ 80-90. My problem continues to be Cl levels. I can't hold a steady reading. I've been trying to keep it above 10ppm (using bleach only) until the water is definitely cleared up, but it's been dropping as much as 3ppm in a 24hr period. It did only drop 1ppm from sundown last nite to sunup today: 8.5 - 7.5, which seems like a positive sign. I checked my CYA this AM again just to be sure, and it's still @ 30-40ppm. Any idea why I can't hold Cl levels when everything else is stable? Is there something else I need to do?

My next question: I want to try to swim in it this weekend for the 4th. Am I ok to let the Cl levels drop into the 3-6ppm range for swimming and just monitor it closely, or do I need to maintain shock levels still?

Thanks as always,
