Ok, I have the print out. Again, i don’t know if these numbers make a difference but I told him it was only a 5000 gallon pool.

Temp=78, saturation index= -1.5, Tds= not tested, CYA=not tested, tot chlorine 4.9, free clorine=0, ph=6.8, demand drops=10, tot alk=60, adj tot alk=60, tot hardness=61, optimizer, copper, iron, quat=not tested, manganese=no

We have a vinyl octagon pool with 10 foot sides. The deep end is 6 foot the shallow is 3 foot. We use chlorine.

I looked at the pool when I got home today - it is very, very cloudy, I can’t see the bottom. My son was trying to scoop up some of the "cardboard looking matter" yesterday and it said it was slimy (actually said the pool was full of snot - that’s a kid for ya!)

I truly appreciate anything anyone can tell me. I have read so much info now I don’t know where to start. I did order one of the kits of the site so until I get it I have to rely on the calculations the pool kid gives me.

Thanks again for the help, Shannon
