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

    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.

    Sorry for not looking at this in a while. Yes, the shock level was kept over 14. Even the weekend we went camping, it stayed up there. As of today, we're still clear. I'm keeping my FC around 3 to 4, my CC has remained near zero, and my PH has been steady at 7.2 to 7.4 with very little acid needed. I'm thrilled with the way things went this year and will keep reading things in this forum in the future. Thanks again fir all your help.
