Today's #'s

FC = 5+ (OTO kit max = 5 ppm). Best guess is between 8-10. It's not orange like I've seen in the past. Taylor DPD powder not here yet.
pH = 7.2
TA = 80-90
CH = 200

No CYA reagents yet either, should be here with the DPD powder. Seems like I'm holding chlorine OK. CYA on hand in case I need to add some.

Added 2 lbs of cal hypo for good measure. Filter pressure is medium, probably will have to back wash tomorrow. I still have about ~5 or so gallons of bleach on hand.

Added 1 bag of salt with one in reserve-salt cell was reading 2700 ppm but the last taylor test read 3600. I'm not sure how high chlorine levels affect the test. Last year the cell reading and Taylor test were dead even. We also had at least 2-5 inches of rain since my last test, one place near me reported 10" on Monday.

Waiting to see how much salt cell level comes up.

Waiting for the water to start getting clear.

Water is still very milky, visibility no more than 1 ft.

I still feel like I'm getting very low performance from my sand filter. I tried the DE powder trick and it almost immediately plugged with just a vey small amount of DE.

Scrubbing the walls daily and the floor as best I can with 0 visibility.
