    Default Re: My Chlorine Level Won't come up

    With a 19k gal pool, a gallon of PLAIN 8% bleach will add about 4 ppm of chlorine to your pool.

    With a DE filter, cloudy water usually either means low chlorine or early stages of algae.

    Do this:

    1. IF there is no 'green' begin adding 1 gallon of PLAIN 8% bleach each evening to your pool. (If there is ANY green, add 3 gallons!)
    2. Tell us what the strips say your pH is.
    3. IF your pump is on a timer, set it to run 24/7 until the water is clear.

    Be sure to watch the videos for the kit, before using it: http://pool9.net/tk-guide/ Be especially careful with the CYA test. IGNORE the booklet and wheel that come with the kit.

    Let us know how it goes.
