    Tara,

    I am pretty sure you are not using enough bleach. 1.5 gal daily will only raise your pool 6ppm. I don't know where your chlorine level is now but, if you'll post that, someone here will advise you on how much more to add so your pool will clear more quickly. My guess is the delay in clearing your pool is not getting your chlorine high enough.

    Save your money on that Phos Free stuff...you don't need it....you need chlorine.

    Oops! I misread your post. I see now where you say your Cl is around 15ppm. That's good. Be sure to check it again this evening and add enough to bring it right back to 15ppm...a little higher won't hurt....Did you ever determine a more accurate CYA level?
