    FYI: Just before giving up and draining the pool, the wife used the Lslie's Ultra Bright Clarifier. It's been working GREAT. Every few hours we need to pull the filter, clean (the filter is feels 2x as heavy when full, it's really picking up a lot of stuff!!!) add more clarifier / repeat. Gone through a whole bottle now, and the pool's turned blue overnight. Just using the last of the bottle now, and I think it'll be perfectly clear after this application. If not, we're going to grab some more, and I'm confident we'll be swimming this afternoon

    Please, PLEASE do not use more than the label recommends.

    I don't know specifically what is is THAT brand of clarifier but the primary chemical in many of them can work in REVERSE if you overdose. So do NOT exceed the label maximum dose.

    That's why we don't usually recommend using such products. They *can* help sometimes. But far too often, pool owners operate on the "if a little is good, more is better" theory. And when they do -- with that product and the metal control agents (especially, HEDP) -- you'll think you've died and gone to h. . . . , well, not heaven.
