Pool green 15,000 gallons

It doesn't have to be Clorox. Most of us use generic Walmart bleach.

Ok thanks. I will keep adding clorox daily till it clears.

Yup, it isn't elegant, basically keep hammering the algae with chlorine until it clears up :-)

I opened very late this summer and my pool was dark green, couple types of water bugs, thriving ecoculture. I ran it up to and kept it at around 20 ppm and it was clear in 3 days. The only adjustment I made was to bring down my PH level as it was high. I balanced my water after the water was clear and chlorine levels down to normal levels.

I thought I shouldnt add anything until the metal magic had been in there 12 hours.

This is what my pool water looks like. I have no kit yet, so I went to the Dollar store and stocked up on 8 gallons of 6% bleach. Dumped 2 in at dusk and can't wait to see what happens.

Also keep your pump and filter running 24/7, cleaning the cartridge as your pressure indicates. Many times, the cloudiness is due to dead algae that just needs to be filtered out.

How's it looking now?
