I just wanted to write that DH says the pool is getting clearer by the day. He & I got in the pool tonight (after the kids went to bed) and it was fine and very nice. We are going to check the chlorine level again tonight and add some more bleach before we go to bed. We are still waiting on our Taylor K-2006 kit to arrive.
There isn't one bit of slime to the pool floor or wall, which is nice!

Congrats Tricia. Great folks on this forum. I've walked in your shoes, and it can seem to take forever to go from green to cloudy, then finally clear. When I have algae, I always err on the side of caution and would rather have to much chlorine than let the level get to low and give the algae a break.

Many new pool owners get hung up on "balancing" their water and waiting way to long before adding chlorine, when it is essential to get sanitizer in to the pool. Enjoy your summer of swimming.
