    You are on the right track. The goal is a clear pool and a CC reading of 0. The more often you test and each time add enough bleach to shock it back up, the quicker the pool will clear. You will be surprised how fast it clears. Keep us posted how things are going.

    I agree with Watermom. Besides, with a CYA of 60 (that's stabilizer) the "Best Guess" table says you need to shock to a level of 20ppm FC to clear your pool. 15 may well do it, but 11.5 won't.

    cmcq,
    How's the pool looking? Did you have any problems getting it cleared up?
