    Just reporting in - water finally cleared yesterday. I did end up putting some 3" pucks in the autochlorinator because due to the 2 full 5min backwashes/1min rinse cycles, my CYA had gotten down to around 30. Thanks for encouraging me to stick with the consistent shock level as I'm quite sure that's what eventually solved the problem. robin

    Since your cya is 30, you are fine to use the pucks for a while. But, keep an eye on the cya level. It is amazing how quickly the trichlor pucks can cause it to get to a level that is higher than you want. 30-50 is what we usually recommend. I like mine 40-45.
