    Thank you

    I'm so glad I found this forum, been throwing money away all this summer in pool stores until now. My pool was either cloudy or with algea that I could not get rid off, until I started using bleach, I'm happy to say my pool is now crystal clear and love it. Is now a pleasure to have a pool! :party:
