Thank you! I guess a little reassurance that I was doing the right thing is all I really needed. I've not added anything to the pool but bleach and just started adding the DE to the filter last night. I'm hoping to come home to a crystal clear pool tonight. If not, I'll just keep slugging away with the bleach...thank goodness it's only $2.28 for the 6% 1.4 gallon jugs at our local Wally World (I've got 3 in a decent driving distance from me)! I can't even imagine what I'd be paying to keep the pool up if I relied on the pool store. We did that with our AG pool in Kansas several years ago, and we spent several hundred dollars a year in chemicals for a 15' round pool, and the water was never clear. I found this site a couple of months before we moved from there...wish I would have found it MUCH sooner. Knowing how much money we could have saved makes me nauseous. I'm sure we could have easily maintained the pool for about $75 a season.
