    Does your pool have a really strong chlorine type smell? What is your CC or Combined Chlorine reading? What other chemicals have you used other than bleach? Any algaecide or clarifier or anything else? It would be helpful if you have used anything else to list it along with its' ingredients if possible.

    There is no strong chlorine smell. The water is clear and no visible algae. I have added 2 more gallons of bleach since the last post. I did put 6oz of algimycin 600(poly ethylene dichloride) and one box of borax .The filter pressure is 20psi as it was at last backwash and new DE.I ran out of DPD powderdoing this last test. I have some ordered expect it in a day or two. The only other test I have is an OTO kit that only goes to 5-10.
