Cannot Get Rid of Cloudy Water

[ajb8898]

Gah! I just got a message from USA General Store/Amazon that they are going through "stock replenishment" and can't get me my Taylor kit until late next week even though I was expecting it to be delivered tomorrow. Shoot me now.

I'd cancel the amazon order and get it from www.amatoind.com. http://www.amatoind.com/k2006c-taylor-test-p-263.html. Amazon should have told you much sooner than now that they're out of stock. Although, with the long weekend who knows when they can get it to you.

Any more algae floaters coming up?

Yes, they gave me the option to cancel so I did that and ordered the one from amatoind. Still will probably be end of next week

No major algae coming up. I think I saw one small piece all day. I've emptied the sock several times today. Lots of bugs and surprisingly sand. I think we did a poor job of rinsing after backwashing for several times and it came out. Just my guess because we haven't had a bag break.

Keeping the chlorine high. I can't guarantee it's stayed 15 since yesterday at lunch but I've kept it above 10 by adding a gallon last night and today. I have no idea what it is now and without a reliable kit I just didn't want to chance it going low. I hope it's not way too high right now. Water has cleared a few more inches down but still haven't seen the bottom. Supposedly my kit is getting overnighted. We'll see.

When you get it, post a full set of numbers for us to look at. Also, update your signature line to show that you have the K-2006.

Still no kit. Frustrated!

Trying to keep the pool high by the evening. I've had to put at least 1-2 gallons in a day to keep up with it. Still hasn't seemed to stabilize yet.

Oh and I finally got in today and went down with goggles and the bottom is completely clear. Doesn't seem to be an issue with debris.

Went to the pool store today.

CYA: 70
TC: 3
FC: 3
pH: 7.6
TA: 145
ATA: 124
Hardness: 200

We are continuing to put in 1.5-2.5 gallons of chlorine every day. Last night we did 3 and it's already down to a 3. So much chlorine! The pool does seem to be very slowly clearing up but still haven't seen the bottom. I was thinking to add another 3 gallons and then wondering about the pH. Is it getting too high?
