Watermom asked me to look at this . . . but the simple truth is that once you put in so many mystery ingredients into your pool, I have no idea what the outlook is. It might clear up in a day; it might take all summer! Adding MORE mystery ingredients only complicates the picture.

All I can say for sure is

1. If your chlorine and pH are OK, it's probably safe to swim, from a chemical and sanitation point of view. It *might* be irritating to your skin and eyes, however, since the byproducts of some 'mystery' chemicals and chlorine are fairly nasty.

2. If you want to QUICKLY and SURELY clean your pool up, draining and refilling is the way to go, IF (and ONLY if) you have clean clear fill water with no metals.

3. However, if you choose to drain and refill, you need to make SURE you have the right chemicals (with as few mystery chemicals as possible + the right testkits AND + a good plan, BEFORE you start draining.
