Cloudy... but clean

Try this. . . . and balance out to 7.4 PH and 90 to 100 ALK. Keep the CAL at 250 to 300

What does any of this have to do with allowing dead algae to sink?

I just finished this process on my 50,000 Gal Oval in Pensacola. LOOKS GREAT!!! As a CPO I do this all the time and have my friends do it as well. It really works.

OK.

I'm confused.

If -- as a CPO -- you are maintaining your pool properly, why would you EVER have to do this to your own pool? In 15 years of chemically operating many large commercial pools (45,000 gallons to 680,000 gallons), I only had two pools 'go green' on me. The first time, was my first year: I vowed never again. The second time, was 10 years later, when I was carelessly over-confident in one of my operators.

I'm going to warn you again: you have more to learn here, than you have to teach. Read for a couple of months and then post. You'll probably find that it will be harder to UN-learn some of the errors you've been taught, than to learn new stuff.
