Wed update: Water still very cloudy - very pale green. Most of this is from settlement on the bottom. When I vacuum, it lightens. I still have some brown color coming out of the return. Have not figured out how to vacuum to waste. I tried it the other day and my hoses collapsed - cheap intex tubes. Overall, it looks much better!! Here are my numbers:
FC - 10
TC - 12.5 (these were obtained by diluting then multiply by 5 - probably not completely accurate but pretty close)
pH - 7.6
Alk - 160-170
CYA 35
How am I doing? I have added about 4 jugs of bleach everyday since Sat. My numbers are always a tad lower than 15 when I check them but I always add a jug. Doing this three times a day. Anything else I should be doing? Try some patience, maybe? ha ha I'm trying!
Thanks again for everyone who has helped. I know sometimes it seems we ask the same questions that are already on here somewhere but it can be a bit overwhelming so personal help is certainly appreciated.
