Just need to make sure....

Thanks for the confidence. I guess my FC is not holding well because when I tested today (3pm) it was down to 7.5. I brought it back up and I plan to watch it close as I can.

I have been reading on this site for some time now and I love it. It has never failed me. For some reason when I opened it this year it is the worst that my pool ever looked. (black lagoon) I still can not see the drain in the deep end yet I can see the bottom in the shallow end.

My plan for now is to keep a close eye on FC (keep it above 12), pump running 24/7, vac to waste and not let the pressure get above 12. If it does I will clean the filter.

Is there any debris in the deep end, like a dead elephant, or maybe just a lot of leaves ??

A lot of leaves that don't get scooped or vacuumed out will prolong this process because you will have to oxodize them all away with the chlorine.
