Sunlove,

What I am doing know is keeping my chlorine level at about 12ppm. I have a taylor 1515 kit so I am able to test the high shock levels.

Taylor K-1515 @ Amazon

I test every two hours or so. I lose about 4 ppm or so in that time. So I use the bleach calculator thats on this site somewhere to tell me how much to add to bring back to shock level. I add throughout the day every two hours. For my small pool it seems I have been adding about 3/4 of a gallon every two hours to get me back to 10-12 ppm.

That's what I have been doing. It cleared somewhat more today but still cloudy. The green is almost gone and looks white or blue somewhat. But last year I had the cloud for a month or so I believe.

I over shocked last year and the metals came out and stained my liner. Search my posts from last year and you will see what I am talking about. I even need to go back and re-read my old posts. Sitting here thinking about it I may think the pool doc had me raise the shock level to 15. But I cant be sure until I re read. I have a lot of patience so I am in no rush. If I do this methodically I think I will benefit better. Also my pump/filter has been running on low 24/7.
