    No, at this point, I don't think you need to do a partial drain. But, I would not add any more products like Pool Perfect if it were my pool. Often, the more stuff you add, the more of a problem you have. What type of filter do you have?

    Pool Perfect is an enzyme. It is not effective when your chlorine levels are at shock level because it will get oxidized by the chlorine. Wait until your chlorine levels are lower. Also, did you use PoolPerfect or PoolPerfect with PhosFree. The second one contains a phosphate eliminator and those can cause the pool to cloud if you have phosphates in your water (This is how they work!). Both products do work to help prevent scum lines as a maintenance item once your water is balanced. Also, where is your calcium? If it is very high that might be the cause of your cloudy water.
    As far as the new forumula Clorox, the additive they put in it is also the same thing that is in many pool clarifiers so it should not really have any detrimental effects. Just keep filtering and have patience!

    Edit: if your chlorine is disappating quickly you probably still have algae. Do you have any combined chlorine? If you do I would maintain the 15 ppm level of FC until you have no chlorine loss overnight and you have no CC. The PoolPerfect really would not have any effect unless you used the one with PhosFree, which can cause cloudiness. Just filter it out and you will be fine!

    Did you check to make sure it wasn't one of the scented bottles?
