    Hopefully he'll get to you sometime today. He's had a really busy week and is a little behind and Janet and I keep adding too much to his 'to-do' list! Or maybe it's just me that's doing that to him! At any rate, if he doesn't find your thread by the end of the day, make another post to remind us that you are still waiting.

    Ok.

    Send the pictures (including current ones) to poolforum@gmail.com
    Test your pool water, and post the results
    and . . . then we'll get started.

    Ok, I emailed the pictures. My results today are:
    Total Chlorine - 3
    pH -8.2
    TA - 310
    Hardness - 370
    CYA - Dot didn't disappear

    Water is cloudy and light green.
