Green Algae, now cloudy

[rastoma]

I followed the "best guess CYA chart" and shocked to 15ppm using 12.5% pool shock. I've maintained this level ever since.

stick with just plain, generic unscented bleach instead of using expensive pool shock which doesn't work any better.

But don't overlook bulk 12% chlorine from pool stores (or water treatment stores). I get 5.5 gallons of 12% for $9.00. There are a couple of pool stores and water treatments stores near me that sell chlorine (I'm finding out), but this place has the freshest chlorine with the highest turn over.

happy swimmin'!
