First time opening pool since joining this forum

Am I getting too impatient if my water hasn't cleared up. I'm going through about 2 gallons of 12.5% a day to keep the FC up over 15. My CC is hovering at .5 to 1. All my other tests look good, but my water is a very pale teal color and I can't see the bottom yet. Don't know if it matters, but we've had a lot of rain this past week.

Patience is the hardest part of the process, for sure! Have you tested your CYA after your addition? The rain might have diluted it a bit.

My CYA was at 50 when I tested last week on Monday. I haven't tested it since, but I doubt a couple of inches of rain would take it down below 40 or so.
Well, to quote Yoda, "PATIENCE YOU MUST HAVE, YOUNG JEDI". And patient I shall be.

Haha! Keep it up, young padawan! A few inches of rain, I agree. We have had more than you apparently.

Any news?

We've finally had some warmer days. So far this summer seems colder than last. Anyway, the pool finally cleared up early this week. It's crystal clear, clean, and COLD AS THE ARCTIC. If this global warming, ahem, climate change keeps up, I'll need a heater. Thanks so much for all the advice.

Hahaha. Gotcha on the climate change! More rain today for us...

Congrats!!!! and thanks for the update. It's great to know.
Did you keep your FC at shock level the whole time?

Let us know if any questions come up. Again, congrats!!!
