Hi Rev,
I've been away for a couple of days and just caught myself up on your conversion to chlorine. Would you say your water is crystal clear, but just still a bit green rather than blue? The reason I ask is because at the end of mine I was concerned that I didn't see the carribean blue color but when I had a pool inspection Thursday morning for the sale of my house I asked the guy about it. He reminded me that the perceived color of the pool is determined largely by color of the container it's in. He said that my pool looks great. I also did a search to see if I could find some info on the issue and one site referred to a more "classic" color which is what mine is.

Are you still cleaning anything out of the sock on your skimmer or has all that cleared up?

I just have to add, at the hotel we stayed at in San Diego Thursday night the pool water was the same shade of green as mine, but cloudy. I felt very smug.

Hope some of this helps,
Deborah
