    You really do need to get a good test kit - the strips have too big a range between them. You need to add a lot of chlorine - it will clear up your water. At a cya of 30 - 50, you should shock your pool by raising your chlorine to 15 and keep it there until it holds overnight. You probably have dead algae that is causing the cloudiness, and since your chlorine is getting used up so fast, you are still fighting it. The only way to get rid of it once and for all it to be very consistant with keeping your chlorine level at 15ppms for a few days without letting it drop lower. Your water will clear up - if you keep up with chlorine.

    Thanks, Marie, I will add what liquid I have tonight ( a partial gallon of 10%) and get more in the a.m.
    It does look marginally better today than yesterday.
    I would appreciate any and all responses!
