    I tried to Keep the FC between 10 and 15 just using bleach. If you keep it at that level it shouldn't take long to clear. After few days as it begans to clear I added a little liquid clarifier to help the new sand in the filter catch all the tiny particles that didn't get caught the first time thru the filter. The pics above are actually quite cloudy compared to what it looks like now. Now it is crystal clear.

    UUGH!
    Procrastination really doesn't pay - EVER!!!
    Pool was crystal clear a month ago....well, dirt and some leaves on the bottom, but other than that it was clear...
    A week before easter, I said to myself - gotta go buy bleach and get it in there, temps are rising....
    Easter we were away...
    A week after easter, I said it again....
    I finally bought a bunch of bleach, set it in the garage and forgot for 3 days
    When I went to put it in, it was green just like above....
    Oh well! still too cold to swim anyways, should be clear by next week!!!
