question

[no1ford]

I am being mis-understood or maybe unclear. The flocculant did work-it worked GREAT!

I had swimmers in there today and it got cloudy ( I am guessing from the sunscreen I put on them) So I was hoping to find out what to do after swimmers go in. DO you raise the bleach-add shock what?

I cannot believe how stupid I am being made feel over pool questions. I am doing the things you suggested, I am just not quite clear on them yet.

Levels

FC-10
PH-7.5
CYA-30
Alk-110

I cannot understand how it went from crystal clear to slightly cloudy in a few hours with swimmers.

I'm totally new to this pool business and English is not my primary language but if I understand Carl is telling you that he nor anobody else suggested you put flocculant in your pool (except for the pool store who are there to make money). You chose to put the flocculant in...you think you got a good result but the problem is returning and so are you.

I guess I just want to understand if it can get cloudy from swimmers and if so, what to do under the bleach and other grocery conversions. Do I just bleach like crazy after every swimming session? If this is the common problem from Floc and someone here knows that-please if you can advise me.

I cannot remember the last time I suggest someone floc their water. You didn't get that idea from me or from anybody here at Pool Forum. In fact, early in the last thread, the locked one, I explicitly told you NOT to use a flocculant:

If you didn't use the flocculent, don't. He's not addressing your problem. Floc is for particles too small for the filter to catch.

No one else here suggested flocculant either.

Your decision to add floc did not come from anyone here at Pool Forum. I don't know where you got the idea from--I guess from the pool store guy. I also told you that you cannot follow both his advice and ours--they are contradictory so it's got to be one or the other.

Let me make this very clear: Your decision to add flocculant to your pool was the opposite of what we advised you to do. Therefore all responsibility for the consequences of your action are yours. I will not help you because I cannot help you.

I suggest you follow the pool store's advice since you won't follow ours.

Sure, your water went clear when you flocc'd it. Then it went cloudy again. Why do you think I told you not to use it?

I HATE being this tough on any member. It's just not in my nature. I've really tried to help you and you have done the exact opposite of what I have advised. I would much preferred to have been able to, but that was up to you, not me.

I never said you told me to use the floc-and yes I was advised against it here. It did work. I was not advised as why not to use it-it this a common problem?

I would like to thank all of you that helped kindly. Please tell me how to unregister- I was only looking for help! Not a fight or to be treated as if I was stupid. Thanks

Send a PM to PoolDoc with your request. You are welcome to lodge any complaints with him as well if you feel you have been treated unfairly.

I'm sorry, but I have no answers for you.

But I'll be kind and give you a hint:

If your dog has a smelly accident in the house, you can just spray Lysol on it and the smell will go away. For a while.

But you haven't solved the problem, and it will soon stink again.
