Timmie,

I'm still learning (every day!) but I'd keep the filter running and not worry too much about vacuuming until the filter clears the water up somewhat. If you're able to find manufacturer and model information on your equipment, please include it because someone here is probably familiar with how it operates and can suggest how to get the vacuum working right. In answer to your question about volume, yes, 70K litres sounds about right for a 17x33 ft pool.

You mentioned Javex - I believe it is bleach (chlorine), rather than borax. It sounds like you have plenty of chlorine already. :-)

hi Rick,
Do I have to put more chlorine in my pool everyday? I havent put any in since saturday and then that was 60 or 80 litres!!!! I have my filter running and will check in the morning for the pump name etc. I know it is a very old pump.........................

You don't necessarily need to add more chlorine every day. Keep testing, and post your results here. As long as you don't have combined chlorine (CC), keeping at least 2 ppm of free chlorine should be sufficient at your CYA level of 15.
