First year opening pool (built my pool last spring). So glad I found this website. I opened this past weekend, below is what my pool looks like after just running the vacuum twice and turning the pump on. No need to "shock", like everyone tells me to, ha! Chlorine was still at a good level actually, didn't even have to add any. My next door neighbor pays a company $50-100 weekly to take care of his pool, plus opening/closing fees, and you cant even see an inch down in his water its so cloudy. I'm sure they will be glad to charge him a few hundred dollars to "fix" it.
