    It will work, but it will take a large dose of POPP--Pool Owner Patience and Persistance!! I understand how frustrating it is, but unfortunately it's a process, and by definition is going to take a little time. I promise, though, we can help you get it clear!!

    Depends on how low your pH is. Yesterday you said that it was at 7.0. If that is still true, in this 21K gallon pool I'd probably add a half a box. Let it circulate for a few hours and then retest. See how much that moves it and then add smaller amounts to tweak it where you want it.
