question...is it okay to use 50% alagecide? live in rural area and walmart only has 50%. just opened my pool, a little green tint and a little foggy in the deep end. inground, 21,000 gallon pool. just started adding chlorox.... is that okay to use the 50% until i can get 60% elsewhere or should i wait?

If it's PolyQuat, it's fine. (the only active ingred should be Poly....<something>..... 50%).

Sounds like you just need to up your chlorine to "shock" level based on your CYA and get the pool cleared up. Algaecide is much better at preventing algae than killing it.
