Thanks Dave. I'll probably put some in tonight when I get home then. I plan on vacuuming again tomorrow morning. I'm trying to be patient, but it's very hard! It is sooo hot and I sometimes have to work outside, and when I get home, I want to jump in!! :) I am very much looking forward to...

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I couldn't figure out where to ask. I've been reading that I should not put things in my pool when I don't know what they are. Before coming to this forum, when I was doing things the pool store way, I bought some "Super...

Thanks for the info and the link! I was able to use that method on Friday morning, which helped somewhat, and then my new TF100 kit arrived Friday afternoon. Yay! It came just in time to help me get thru this weekend. My pool is now cloudy white instead of green, and I'm trying to be patient...

Thanks everyone. I'm Tennessee born and raised. :) I ordered that test kit from duraleigh on Monday and I hope to receive it soon so I can test my chlorine at higher levels. Happy Summer!

I am from Bartlett, TN, which is a suburb of Memphis. I got my first home in late summer 2006, and it came with a 33' round AG pool. I have been fighting algea more than swimming ever since, and I finally decided that the pool stores must be dumb and there must be some better advice out...
