    update!
    water looks a lot better, still a little cloudy. Small amount of the "stuff" this morning I added another Gallon of 6% and swept the pool. Stopped by the house at lunch-time, water test the best I could tell buy deluting the sample was 20 PPM. So I added another gallon of 6% and installed the Baracuda and let it run till I got home about 4 hours. I will re-test the CL this evening and add if needed.

    Just got home this evening and the pool water is crystal clear! My PH was a little high 8.0 so I added 1 cup of acid to bring that down, the total chlorine level is about 5PPM but the free chlorine is about 10PPM is this a problem.

    Go back and measure again...total chlorine = free chlorine + combined chlorine, so total can't be 5 if free is 10.........

    You can get a false reading of ph when your chlorine is up to 20 - 25ppms. You may have gotten your ph down too much. Don't add anymore acid!
