    Thanks guys... And yes I'm in Burlington Cty...

    I'm not sure if I still have algae or not? The water looks a lot better this am but I brushed the deep end and it's still has some settlement of something? Do I still have algae?

    Yes I have the K2006c based on your suggestion last year.

    You've got something growing. You should shock (chlorine consistently at 15ppm) until you have zero CC reading and a clear looking pool.

    I have a 22 x 39 mountain shape so not 100% sure on total gallons. 8 ft deep end I guess 3 ft low end. I've always guessed 27k gal. Sand filter, liner 1 hp SWCG

    Head south down Rt130 to Wally World for some bleach. Don't stop at Riverton, if you get to Leisles... you went to far

    At 27,000 gal, 407oz (about 3 1/3 jugs) of the 8.25% will add 10FC to get you to shock level. Keep it over 15FC (but not over 20FC) until your CC reading is zero, the pool is clear, and you loose less than 1FC overnight.

    Retest in about an hour and before adding more. You might not need an additional dose and you could damage you liner and equipment with to much.

    I'm just a couple 295 exits south of you

    With a CC @ 1, you likely still have something left to kill (algae or otherwise) in the pool. Ideally, you want that number to be zero. A good shock is in order.

    Please place in your signature the type, size, and equipment your pool has so we can better help you.
