Most of it came from Meijer (grocery store here in Michigan) although I do think I got some from Walmart as well.
Good to know!
Are you saying even if it says 6% on the container's label, it is actually less--as in false advertising!?
On another note...I have a sparklingly clean pool again!!
(Unfortunately, summer's almost over and the pool has dropped to below 70 degrees on average).
Still, the persistence did finally pay off.
If/when I have to do this again (and I hope/plan not to in the first place (lesson learned!), I am going to have tons of bleach and tons of extra test kit supplies on hand and hit it hard core, like every hour or so, and try and kill any algae more quickly and with great consistency.
Looking back, I think I may have been too lazy until toward the end. I didn't vacuum nearly often enough and I waiting to long to test again.
Thanks so much for all the help here. It was nice not to have to figure this out on my own and I did not put ANY pool store purchased chemicals in the pool. It was all done with regular store bought bleach.
