The "milky" part may be calcium carbonate falling out of suspension. This can happen when there is too much calcium, along with high ph and alkalinity. The powdered shock is full of calcium. I would suggest you just use regular bleach for now.

Sounds good. I'll go pick up a few gallons of ultra bleach to add over the next several days. My kids are not so patiently waiting to get in the pool.

Thanks again.

It's looking pretty good today. I've kept the chlorine at shock level all weekend and brushed every day. The polaris has been running around non-stop - and I've been using the skimmer socks.

I can't believe how much pollen and gunk those things catch. I'm a believer in them now!

Yes, they really work! I opened my pool on Sat. afternoon to a great big green swamp . It is now a very light green after mega doses of bleach, and rinsing the sock out every hour! It does take consistency and patience .

I'm glad that the pool is looking good
