Ok so I am going to go get more chlorine. My husband who is getting frustrated (no patience) now says I should get the zipchlor because it cleared things up before. That is what the pool store gave us when we opened the pool. I don't know what that is compare to the dichlor and tricolor ...maybe its the same thing. We can't tell if the pool is getting clearer. I think it might be. We have gone through quite a bit of chlorine. I keep telling him to just have patience. But last night my pump turned off, so we turned it back on and it ran very loud. My husband was worried that we are running it so much that something may be wrong. Anyhow like I said, I have until Friday night before I have to abandon the SLAM.
