It's been weeks now that we have been battling the murky, cloudiness in our pool. FINALLY I think I have convinced my husband that we need to be more aggressive. I took a sample in to be tested on Friday and the pool store told us that the ph was too high (we've battled that all summer,) the stabilizer was too low and the chlorine was too low. It floats from greenish to cloudy and I pretty much sat him down, showed him the pages here and said to put the laundry room bleach in tonight to raise it up to shock levels. But he's afraid of using too much and raising the chlorine to shock levels for more than a few hours. So to clear the pool, how long should we keep the chlorine levels up that high? For a few days? Until it's clear? Is there a hard and fast rule on this?
