    Hahaha about teaching math!

    Since we know this:
    If your chlorine is 10%: add 3C for every 1ppm increase you need
    If your chlorine is 12.5%: add 2C, 3oz for every 1ppm increase you need
    Then 5% would be 6C or 1.5Q

    I don't know what you were doing for some of the last 10 days, but if you brush the pool and KEEP your FC at 12 (or even a tad over), by testing and adding as often as you can, your pool WILL clear.

    EDIT: I just reread the thread. I neglected to suggest that you remove the pucks. Let's get them out if they're still in there.

    my numbers this morning fc=1.5 cc= .5
    I can make out the drain its just not crystal clear yet, but its an improvement for sure. I will keep adding bleach and I will vacuum today.

    I haven't let anyone use the pool, what do you think? thank you!

    Glad your CC's are coming down; that's good. If you can see a swimmer in trouble, you can swim at FC of 12 but wear old suits. Keep it at 12 as often as you can.

    Maybe you can check in a half hour and make sure you hit 12.

    Is there a date code on that bleach? Like a 5 digit number that has a 16 in it?
