I'm pretty sure you are all so sick of being asked the same questions, but I'm throughly confused. We started using Baquacil 2 summers ago because my son is sensitive to chlorine and it back-fired (yes yes I know you're laughing). We had so much algae in the pool and couldnt keep up with it (think the pool in "Griswold's Family Vacation"). So we're switching and forcing my poor boy to wear goggles all the time. I looked at about a thousand websites and decided to use the sodium percarbonate method. We have an 18' round above ground with a hayward xtreme 150 sq ft pump (we did have a baqua-pure, but it crapped out). I put 6lbs of the sodium percarbonate in it and became clear except for all the brown stuff at the bottom. We waited 4 days and the dropped 8lbs (4lbs one day 4lbs the next) of non-chlorine shock in after testing it (no baquacil showed up). The pool guy said to test the water in a bucket when trying the shock and it didnt turn green. Well....
its a cloudy green, it smells so much better then baquacil, but it looks horrible still. It says to wait 7 days with pump on 24/7 and then balance and add tablets. Do I still follow those rules if its still green? What do I do?
