If it went down that much, then it is defineatly fighting something. You probably needed to get up to 25 to really get it under attack. Consistancy is the key!

OK, I'll go with that.

7/23/06 - 11:29, checked my FC to make sure I got the FC high enough. Rightnow, based on Dilution method (this time I used drops and mixed 3/1 distilledwater:PoolWater). I dumped in about .75 gal of Bleach at my last post and it rased it to about 20. Now I'll add another .75 Gal to get it up to 25.

I noticed that your calcium level and alkalinity level went up also, so you may be fighting two different battles here. Adding any cal-hypo after a stain treatment is not recommended. It may be that your calcium and alkalinity are contributing to the cloudiness. You may want to lower your ph and aerate your water as you shock your pool. Filtering will eventually take out the precipitated calcium, but that may be one reason that your water got cloudy after the chlorine was added. My experience is that the high chlorine levels will clear up your water no matter which one it is. Just have patience, I know it is easy for me to say - but I think this is going to clear up, and you should have clear water for the rest of the summer if you use bleach and keep it at the proper levels. I am rooting for you!!
