Cloudy Water & CL Going Going Gone

Also I do not have any CC so again how does this figure into the need to shock equation.

You are using chlorine overnight? If so - it is because you have something alive in your pool that is using the chlorine. Right now it has not grown to a level that looks bad, but it will continue to grow and use chlorine until you kill it with high chlorine levels.

OK and thanks to all ----- BUT

How long do I maintain the FC at 20 ppm?????

I've been searching this site since my last post and have not found that information.

I would suggest taking it up to 20ppms until your water clears up, or you hold it overnight. It probably won't take long, because you have not shown any combined chlorine. You can tell it is all dead because your water will be clear, and there will be dead stuff on the bottom of the pool. Once the water is clear, or you don't use any chlorine overnight, you can let the chlorine fall back down to normal levels for your cya.
