I have done this for about 5 years.. and always get clear water by day 3 or 4.. what is the problem?
Hi Chuck- It took me 3 weeks to get my pool clear. I've been following the teachings of this site for 6-7 years and last year was the first time I had issues with cloudy water over an extended period of time. It usually took me 3-4 days, like you, to get it clear by shocking and running the pump 24/7. I too believe the issue this year (at least for me) was the lack of winter (80 plus degrees in March), and a load of oak leaves in my pool (my neighbors monster oaks are coming down some night!). At any rate, you'll get there, just stay the course. Did I mention it took me THREE WEEKS to get my pool clear? Just hang in there.
