    Default Re: My Green Pool Saga - Help!

    Well, here is my morning update:

    CL 10-12 (since I am doing the dilution method it's hard to tell exactly)
    PH 8.0
    TA 330-350 (depends on if I stop when it first turns pink or when it's red)

    Pool water still unchanged in appearance...dark green and cloudy.

    At 10:00 last night I brushed the whole pool again, and added 5 gal CL

    I don't seem to be making much progress.

    Since I have no CYA reading, I got granulated cyanuric acid last night and put some in an old knee-high and hung it in front of my return jet this morning. It's rapidly washing it out of the sock, into the pool. I hope it's not going in too fast. Someone in an earlier post suggested I do this. Is this likely to help hold my CL level, if I get some stabilizer in there?

    Am I missing something? Maybe I need to be holding my CL level at 15-20 instead of 10? I would have expected my water to be clearing by now. Also, I'm wondering how I am to keep the CL level maintained at 10 when I should only add CL in the evening. Is it not correct that to add it during the day when the sun is shining is basicly to waste it? I have been adding during the day, but it is very sunny today, so I didn't add today. My last check of CL (mid-day) was 8.0.
