I used the HTH Green to Blue. The first steps were great. Then came the red/brown FLOC! I have managed to get it to stick together some using something my pool store (this is not a chain but private owned) recommended. I have vacuumed to waste several times and have had to replace at least 7 inches of water so far. I still can't get this dusty powder out! Please help! I am at my breaking point.
 
Well, unfortunately you've learned the hard way like so many before you about some of these products. The side effects can be frustrating. Floc removal can be tricky and often times it doens't vacuum to waste as easy as the instructions may imply. Some items I would highlight for now:
1 - How are you testing your water? Which test kit do YOU use? Can you post a full set of test results?
2 - What type of pool and equipment do you have? Please update your signature. See mine as an example. This will determine the advice you receive.
3 - As a new TFP member, I would encourage you to visit our Pool Care Basics for the very most important articles to help get you on track.

If you have ANY questions about TFP, the article listed above, a proper test kit, or anything else, just ask.
