    what did you use to shock the pool ??

    Pool store stuff often contains copper ( makes green hair etc ) and some have lots of calcium that can percipitate out making milky water.

    This is why the methods on this formum almost always suggest using plain bleach. There's nothing else in there to screw up your hair of turn the pool milky.

    You also need to tell us what your free chlorine and total chlorine is. Without knowing that we can't tell if you have any, or much combined chlorine. That will give us a pretty good idea if you still have algae in the water or minerals causing the milkiness.

    Algicide should only be added AFTER the algae is killed off, and even then it is optional. Many of us on this forum find that chlorine is all that is needed. Some add algicide as a " belt and suspenders both" program. In any case the only algicide to use is the poly quot 60%. It will not cause foaming and will not turn your hair green(er).
