Well I have to say, today I got up early and read the Leslie's ultra bright clarifier instructions.

It said add 4 oz for 10k pool, or for really cloudy add 8 oz for 10k. So I added 6oz for my 6200 gal pool. I mixed with 2 gal water and poured in front of the skimmer slowly. ( I figure 6 oz was a good # for a cloudy 6200 gallon pool)

All I can say is I should have maybe tried this a few weeks ago

( I did add 2 oz early on, but was afraid to use more because of all the bad press here about using it.)

My theory is I just needed to use more..... I ran the pump on high with the cart and left for the day.

Came home later this afternoon to a sparkly clear pool.

Here are the results.










Pressure rose 1 psi

Total:

42 gallons of bleach, 1 box of backing soda, two pounds of CYA, 8 oz in total of clarifier, 25 days of none stop filtering, and lots and lots and lots POP!!!!! ( Pool owner patience)

And thanks to all who put up with my long winded posts. Especially Ben.

I know I was frustrated and my posts are hard to read at times when I ramble on about useless stuff.

See you all in the closing season. I am going to close the pool properly this year so I may not have this trouble next year.


P.S. Its too cold to swim...LOL ( I started early because last year it took the same amount of time to clear and all other pool owners were swimming when I wasn't)

Oh and if anyone knows finds out what the actual issue, about whatever was in my pool that was not filterable, please let me know.
