Unless I'm completely mistaken, unscented simply refers to the fact that they're not adding any scent to it, so it still smells like bleach. Not that they're adding anything to take away the bleach scent.
Trying to restore green Pool

do y'all recommend me add cya via the instant conditioner I used before? Dichlor? Or other methods once my FC is stable?
Use the instant if you want it quickly, the pucks will take a while to raise your cya. The granules in the sock can take up to a week to dissolve/read as well.
Thanks whoozer. Time to waste another $30. Man pools are high maintenance. I've spent more on the pool this past week than i have on my wife 
My opinion is that the instant conditioner is a waste of money every time. Everyone seems to think that getting the CYA to dissolve quickly is important, but it really isn't. Save some money, buy granular, add it, pull out a case of POP and relax (POP is pool owner patience).
I keep having the problem when trying to vacuum up the pool. There's a lot of very fine debris at the bottom (sand/pollen/dead algae maybe?) I vacuum it up through the vacuum line, but then it gets spit back out into the pool again. Is this normal or is there something wrong in regards to the cartridge filter?
Are you cleaning your filter just before you vacuum? Sometimes if filter is already full before vac that can happen, but to be honest I've never had a lot of luck vacuuming with my cart. How old are your carts?

Oh maybe that is why. I always vacuum when the filter is on the brink of being clogged (figure i'll get the most out of it before I take it out and clean it) They are around 1-2 years old left from previous owner.
Do you have that same problem too whoozer? How do you vacuum your pool?
