went ahead and played with my new chemistry set.

using the K-1515 i tested a 10 ml sample. 2 spoons of R-0870 powder made the sample turn bright pink. 19 drops of R-0870 made the sample go from pink to clear. so, 19 x .5 = 9.5ppm FC right? i moved to step 5 and added 5 drops of R-0003 and sample didnt turn pink, so i didnt think i could move to step 6 since step 6 changes the sample from pink, back to clear. im confued with this part of the test.

i also did a dilution test (4.5 ml tap water and 4.5 ml pool water) with the K-2005 DPD and it also comes out to 10ppm FC.

PH is still 7.4 so, i added a couple of my "butter container scoops" that should get me back around 7.5-7.6 PH.

im going to add more chlorine tonight, and i assume ill keep adding the 2 big jugs right, also water is still cloudy as i brushed all the goop from the pool floor yesterday afternoon.

any ideas on whats up with the cloudy water? pump PSI is still 2 on low! cant wait to get the new filter! any ideas on why this cloudy water wont clear up?

thanks for any help folks!
