Still fighting. Water is still cloudy. Not bad, but not perfect. It ate 6 ppm of CL in 24 hours with CYA of 50, it wasn't that sunny.

Keep hitting it with bleach.

Pool is now clear, but it's still eating a lot of chlorine. I had it to 14 ppm yesterday evening, this evening it was 5ppm.

Think I should just keep feeding it chlorine?

[Watermom]

Yes. With a cya of 50, you shouldn't be losing chlorine so fast unless you are possible still fighting something in the water. Keep up the bleach for a bit longer.
