Your problem was caused by the pool guy and everyone saw as a chance to sell you stuff. You got "Pool-Stored" big-time. It has happened to all of us. Pool care is really simple but if everyone knew how simple it was the pool services would be out of business and half the pool stores with them.

Check out our sister site, poolsolutions.com and read the section on the BBB method. You will be amazed how simple it all is! It only gets complicated when the pool store has you put in a bunch of junk that makes it worse. Luckily Ben could walk you through it. From now on it will be so simple you will never use a pool service again and you wont believe how inviting your water looks.

Yeah, read about BBB, but don't have enough bleach around yet... was trying to get by with cal hypo tonight. Guess I'll run to the store and get some more bleach. One way or another, I'm shocking this thing tonight 'cuz my gf is having her niece and nephew over tomorrow afternoon. Hoping poolcalculator's 662oz 6% bleach is accurate.
