Hi all...

The pools almost crystal clear. If I'm being fussy, there's still a green tinge to it, but overall it looks fantastic. The nylon sock is collecting less and less orange goop, but nonetheless, it's still collecting a bit. I'm backwashing twice a day and seeing an orange cloud of water run through the eyeglass for a few seconds. The CL levels stay at 10ppm or better over night, although during a hot sunny day, I see them drop to 4-6ppm. I'm still doing my best to keep the levels up to 15ppm. Unbelievably, I've been at this for 11 days, but I think I'm about done. I'll change the sand in a week or two.

Can I add the CYA now (in the sock method) and stop the 15ppm clorine?? My CYA levels are under 30 (the pool store says 10).

How much CYA do you put in (I fear putting in too much)?

Thanks in advance for answering.....
