It appears to be std issue bleach but thicker from what I see. No percentage on it at all. The MSDS states 5-10% so it's good there anyway

Anyone know anything about Clorox Plus HE for high efficiency washers. It is thicker which I would assume means has a thickening agent in it.

That looks awesome Bro. You kill me with the home improvement stuff man. Do you ever quit working on and around the house?

Mine was green when I came back from vacation and I shocked it until it appeared clear. After a day it became cloudy at recommended CL levels. I finally loaded it up with CL again (16-18) and vacuumed the dead stuff off the bottom several times and now it's clear again. My problem was not...

I've been fighting my way back from a slightly green pool and decided to cool my pool off in the process. Been freezing Clorox bottles of water in the chest freezer and dropping them in the pool for two days. Swimming this morning was awesome. Pool has been crazy warm and not even enjoyable...

Thanks for the clarification duraleigh No deep end on my pool other than the slight 1.5" grade it sits on. My pool is clear :goodjob: :-D I just checked it after work and I can see clearly right to the bottom. Thanks for the assistance and it's time to go swimming.

Been blasting it with CH every night and brushing/vac'ing along the way. Looks like I'm one day from swimming again. Even the girls said it looked good enough for them to get in. Guess I'll keep my CH a bit higher and super chlor when I may miss a day or so.

Thanks skinman. I am keeping the CH at 15-18 and brushing the victims from the bottom as they collect. It is clearing up but taking a while. My brother ordered the test kit from this board and is testing and BBBing away in NC. I should get one on the way soon but awaiting some contract info if...

I only have the dip strip HTH 6 way tester so results are subjective I guess. Free chlorine - approx 15 PH - 7.8 TA - approx 120 CYA - approx 60 It appears to be quite a bit clearer now since I replaced about 30% of water and swept/vac'd. I pumped up the CH quite a bit and swapped filters a few...

It appears to be pollen and I can see what appears to be pollen dust on top of the water. We mowed the grass a couple times since all this started and I think that may have contributed a bit.

Thanks. I juiced it up good a few days ago and it still remained green. The CH got low for that one day and all heck broke loose. Anyway it is refilling now from between 1/2 AND 2/3. CH still reads high so far.

Re: Does adding CYA make water cloudy? I give up. Impatient as I am, I am draining off some and refilling. Hopefully that will do the trick

I didn't run my pump for one day and the CH dropped below 1. Now I have a cloudy green pool. I shocked as soon as I recognized the problem but it's been 3 days of solid pumping and sweeping with high CH levels. Is there a algae chem that I should try or just keep shocking. All levels are nominal...

Don't know exact temp but way too warm for me. The kids love it that way. Like taking a bath. I have the fountain running tonight and am going to drop a block of ice tonight as well. :)

My metal frame Sand & Sun (Intex) has been great fun for the family this year and my 8 and 11 yr old daughters are swimming with the best of them now. :-D I personally like for my water to be a bit chilly for that refreshing dip after work. I fashioned a fountain from a 2 dollar lawn sprinkler...
