No go, she didn't think it would work and couldn't believe my water was clear using bleach. Finally this spring, she asked if I could help her get her pool cleaned up. It was VERY green.

Same story with one of my neighbors. Even after her daughter commented on how my pool water "glitters" and I told her about using bleach and keeping the CYA down, she still thinks I just spend more time taking care of my pool than they do. She's always trying magic chemicals and fighting algae and cloudy water, and said she'd never be able to put bleach in her pool. Oh well...
