    With the DE test, you are looking to see if the DE shoots back out of the return jet. How many days have you been keeping the chlorine at 15ppm? Have you done so consistently or is it kind of "yo-yoing" up and down? I just looked back and this thread started on the 9th. I would think your algae would be dead by now. If you aren't consistent with your chlorine levels, the algae is winning.

    It has yo-yo'ed. It just read 10 ppm. I'm going to dump in about 2gallons of 12.5%, then recheck in a while.

    That may be why it is taking so long.

    About all I can add here is that if you just simply follow the instructions given in this forum TO THE LETTER, you will have a clean, sparkly pool in no time. If you deviate, you just add more time to the process. It really is a simple matter of patience and dilligence.
