Hi, John,

Sounds like your on the home stretch. Just a reminder....don't give up. Keep that Cl right up there 'til your water looks like you want it to.

I have never been a big proponent of vac to waste. I think a lot of it depends on your filtering capacity. I am lucky to have a huge filter.

If you have gotten this far and you feel like your filter is doing a pretty good job....I'd let it do the work. Of course simply vacuuming in the "filter" position is very helpful.

Good work, John. Keep your Cl up.
