    You'll need to raise FC to 15 2 to 3 times a day.
    Thank you all for the quick replies.

    Carl - I added 4 gallons of regular household bleach. I guess I need 5 more. Will do and retest in tomorrow.

    Duraleigh - the numbers I posted were actually before anything was added, so I did as you instructed, and disregarded what you posted.

    Curt - I can't vacuum! because I can't see the bottom of the pool. INstead I tried brushing the side walls.

    When will I be able to see the bottom?

    What about algicide polyquat stuff?

    What is this brown dark haze lingering top to bottom in my pool keeping me from seeing the bottom? Is it algae?

    thanks again. I'll keep checking back and reading more. Will try to do the calc thing, but i'm not to optimistic that i will be successful in computing that stuff. I'm more of a tell-me-how-much-of-what-and-I'll-do-what-you-say kinda guy
