Need input...PLEASE...

Sorry for the lack of knowledge on my part...but by "fill water being hard" are you referring to high calcium? If so, the answer is no...in fact I have been having a very hard time even keeping my calcium at 200. It is about 150 right now.

I am using bleach only. The water isn't really milky cloudy...just kinda hazy looking. It's hard to describe the water color. Not blue, not green, not milky, The pool is painted white.

It actually looks a bit clearer than it did earlier and the pump has been off for about 3 hrs and I haven't added anymore bleach so I'm sure the chlorine has dropped from 8 due to the sun.

Should I bring the chlorine level up pretty high...maybe 15 or 20 tonight and run the pump just long enough to circulate? Or just add enough to keep it around 5?
