Need help! Please!!!

OK, today I added some Super Blue clarifier (10 oz. for 28k gallon pool). I also added about 3 more gallons of bleach. The water is definitely clearing up. HOORAY!

My question is: how frequently can a clarifier like Super Blue be used? My spa cleared up beautifully, but the shallow end of my pool is still a little cloudy and I still cannot see the bottom of the deep end.

Thanks,
BG

BGray...keep up with the patience. I understand it is hard to do at times. By the way, your first name would not happen to be Bernard would it? If it is, I bet you are a football official in the Fort Worth Chapter. I am in that chapter (10 years). Let me know.

Guilty, as charged. Indeed, I am that very same impatient football referee in FW. Small world, huh Mike?

I am just going crazy with 95+ degree weather and not being able to swim...

But, I'll be swimming soon...

It is a small world. You need to be swimming so you can be in the proper shape for the season coming up. I understand that. Is it better today? Just keep doing what the people tell you to do on this forum...they know what they are talking about.

I have fortunatley not had algae yet since we built the pool last year. I have paid attention to this forum and it has helped. I do keep having a high phosphate problem though. Have been thru several bottles of PhosFree this year and it works. But something keeps getting in my pool to make the phosphates go off the charts which can lead to algae. Must be fertilizer somehow even though I do not get near the pool with it.

Keep up the work on the pool...you will be swimming soon.

I dumped about 8.5 more gallons bleach in last night. This morning, I could ALMOST swear that I saw the dual drains in the deep end. However, it could be my eyes playing tricks on me, like when I'm trying to decide if I still see that dumb black spot when testing CYA.

I'm hopeful that it'll be much clearer when I get home from work tonight.

BTW, since I've been running HIGH Cl levels for a while, what is a "safe" level before I let my kid in the pool? I don't want him to cry about burning eyes, etc.

Thanks all!

I would wait until the chlorine is at least below 12ppm with a CYA of 60 for my kids to jump in.
