Thanks for all the suggestions! I guess I should have known that the suggestions would come back to Cl!! Okay - tonight, I added some bleach and CalHypo (trying to get rid it now that I just use Bleach and I don't have a calcium issue). Pool is up to 25 now. And, running pump continuously. I know I won't be swimming for at least a week now, but I can't stand semi-cloudy water.

Marie - The problem with shocking is the darn staining. I know the higher Cl will bring out the stains again. And, if it's the Metal Magic causing the excess cloudiness, I'll be in a vicious cycle if I add more MM!! I like the MM because it is so effective, but if it's going to cloud the water, maybe I should try a different brand.

Janet - Last time I shocked was in July. Took it to 22. Took about 6 days or so to get back to 10, if I recall.

Two other noteworthy things I didn't mention. The pool has been about 89-90 the past few weeks. And, I use a solar cover at all times when not in use. However, the pool is used almost everyday, so it is never covered for a prolonged period of time.

Ok - we'll see how the shock goes, but I'm afraid the big test is when I'm underwater, so I don't think that will be for a few days.

The pool also needs some water, so I'm going to do that tonight so the fresh water also gets shocked.

Will keep everyone posted.
