During my slam, I found my closest home depot had tons of pool chlorine. It was not listed online. I started out getting the 3 gallons for $9 but if you buy 4 then it is $8 a box. Last time I went, they switch to 2 gallons a box. Same price as the 3. Kind of a ripoff. Finished my slam so I...

It filters out for me. It takes a couple of days to get clear. This happened several times. Last time I just let the pump run on the normal schedule.

I get it clear and then we get more rain. I am looking into get a cartridge filter. It should clear up just in time for more rain tomorrow. Yea! On the bright side, someone on FB marketplace is practically giving away a pentair clean and clear plus filter.
