What a winter we had!
And we didn't cover the pool - and it warmed up super early - and this is the first year we have had a green murky creature of the dark lagoon swamp!
We fished out all the leaves... and a few dead critters... SQUIRRELS are the bane of our existence... they eat my ripe tomatoes - so I can't say I am sorry that a few fell in over the winter.
So I am patiently SLAMing and putting to use all the great info here... we switched to the BBB method years ago...
But... here is my question...
I have used a lot of chemicals to get the water clean and it is getting clear... so when the Chlorine sanitizes the water - what byproducts are left?
I am tempted to drain and replace a lot of the water because even though the water is clearing - it isn't like the bright shiny pool we have had through the years. It is a bright shiny pool that has had a lot of Chlorine added to it... lots and lots... and there were those dead squirrels... who were in there a very very very long time...
Thoughts? or refer me to a thread that talks about this?
With appreciation for all the helpful advice and info here!
