Post new numbers tomorrow and also tell us how the water looks. We'll help you get this all figured out and get those grandkids swimming!

Hi, thanks for the help. I am not getting any readings to amount to anything, but there appears to be some clearing. I am ready to go and dump about 10 gallons in, will that be okay, or too much at one time. Going by what is being said, I really need to get it up there to 15 and hold. So how much do I dump in at a time. We have been doing 4-5 gallons up until now. It is getting there, but not in a timely fashion. I can be patient, if that is the way to do it. Thanks, Kathy

10 gallons will take your chlorine too high. You can do 5, though. That will take you to 12. I posted right at the same time you sent your last post. Scroll back up above yours and find mine and read it.

Hi, I didn't get a chance to get on here until now, but still at the pool maintanance of course! Okay, I didn't read where it said to take readings before bed and in the morning. I am eyeballing the situation here, and it is going wonderful! Each day it has gotten clearer and clearer, but losing chorline really fast apparently. Even still it is clearing up more and more. From green to hazy blue to cloudy to I CAN SEE THE BOTTOM DRAIN!!YEAH!!! Levels after adding at night are reading good in AM for the last two mornings, wondering if we are over the hump? When do we put stablizer in, which is then next question, I may have been pool store, whatever you call it again! I bought a thing of $32 Clor Save, it is Cyanuric acid. When I went for the 12% chorline he said I would need it next? I thought I didn't want to be needing it on Sunday with it being Father's Day. Maybe I can take back tom. when I have to go for more 12%. So what is next, changing the sand, or not?

Hold off on the stabilizer for a bit. If your water is still cloudy you aren't quite done yet. Glad it is getting clearer each day. Keep hitting it hard with FREQUENT additions of bleach. You are getting closer!
