Definitely easy! Thanks so much for all your help! Very happy to have clear water again and happy kids! :D

Just joined today and posted in the "new to pool" forum. Looking for some guidance on my first SLAM and trying to clear this endlessly cloudy water! :)

I think I'm doing ok but am looking for some experienced help! :) First time "pool" owner here. Covid sent us shopping for a SummerWaves quick-set above ground pool (1.1k gal). Filled it with tap water (big mistake, water is very hard here). At this point in the summer I'm not willing to...
