    Default Re: FINALLY algae free x 2 days - NOW WHAT?

    Water is not 100% clear - hazy in deep end. Unfortunately I have to work the next 2 nights so I cant do that test until Sunday night. One question - what is a safe chlorine level for the kids to swim? I thought I would need to let the chlorine drop some before they can enter the pool. I can test water in mornings. Will post then Thanks Watermom!

    Personally, I'd let the chlorine drop quite a bit before swimming. It probably would not hurt you but it would be tough on swimwear. With a CYA of 60, I wouldn't have a problem swimming with the chlorine at 15 or so but that is personal opinion. Plus, if you have a hazy deep end, you have to be careful with being able to see your kids while they are in there. Post your numbers tomorrow.

    OK rechecked today - no algae - deep end still hazy but getting clearer. Readings are
    FC 33.5
    CC0
    pH 7.6
    TA 140
    Did add a bag of salt as it was low (3100) after rain
