This afternoon around 6pm will be 48 hrs since we added the floc. I'm sending pics of what it looked like this morning (haven't figured out yet if I can post them directly to the forum). We are now able to at least see the bottom quite a bit more. I hope the green is dead algae (since it wasn't there before) that will be swept up when we vacuum. Still concerned about the film on the water. Can't imagine any living algae with the amount of bleach we've added and chlorine levels of +5.10 for the past 3.5 days.

I wonder if we should have used more floc than was indicated...the bottle said something about more that indicated for quicker results? Figured it was hype but just wondering.
So once it's 48 hours do we follow the directions on the bottle about vacuuming to waste and then filtering as normal? Backwash...valve at 19? I can't imagine just vacuuming will make it clearer and useable. What about brushing the sides /steps?
Chlorine this morning was still 5.10. As per your instructions we've not added anything since we put the floc in 2 days ago as chlorine is holding.




Please give detailed instructions of what to do from here.
Look forward to your reply.
