    The sun is out, finally, so I was able to open the pool. It's still cloudy, but blue not greenish.

    temp -75 degrees
    FC -0
    TC -3
    cya -I added this am 4 hours ago, 55 ppm
    ph - 7.2
    cal - 0

    I just added 5.68 gallons of bleach. Monday, I get my cal-hypo granules. I also bought 3" cal-hypo tablets (65%). Boy, pool chemicals are a rip. I bought 55 lbs of cya for $44.55. 55 lbs of cal-hypo tablets for $88 and 50 lbs of granules (73%)for $75.50. That may not be the cheapest, but compared to $35 for 8lbs of cya from Leslies it is most reasonable.
    I vacuumed the pool before I added the bleach. The foaming is much less, but still there.
    I did put the cal-hypo tablets in my chlorinator, and plan on using it unless that's a really bad idea? They don't contain any cya, these are sold for commercial water treatment, not sold specifically for pools.
