We set up our pool just a few weeks ago and the kids are loving it. I checked the chemistry via strips almost daily up until a little over a week ago it all seemed normal. My wife suggested I go take a water sample to the local shop and get a free analysis. She had already purchased 2 gallons of shock, and some tabs, neither of which we added. The guy at Leslie pool analyzed the water, and $140 later I left the store with a bunch of chemicals. Conditioner, a PH product, hard water treatment, and some phosfree. He also laid out the plan for me when to add what over 5 days. Everything went fine, untill the phosfree... the pool got really cloudy, there is this "flock" that is everywhere and tends to settle at night. I wish I never put the stuff in... running the filter for a week did little along with backwashing it. Going to purchase a vacuum Friday and hopefully get it out of there.... Did I get taken for a ride?
